We have had a very busy week! Kristy's prom was fabulous, and her hair looked beautiful - it stayed just for prom! The next day Kristy shaved it off, which was quite a relief to her. She looks great in scarves and hats, and very bohemian chic!
Graduation was absolutely beautiful! Kristy wore a blue, white and orange scarf under her hat. It was so awesome to look around the room and see so many people wearing their "KP" bracelets. In addition, every person entering the room was given a yellow ribbon to pin to their shirts in honor of Kristy. JohnThomas, the Headmaster, gave a wonderful speech, and in it, recognized the amazing camraderie that the Flint Hill graduates had, and as an example, spoke of how all the students and families have pulled together in incredible support of Kristy. The most moving moment, though, was when Kristy went to accept her diploma the entire room stood up and gave applause. It certainly brought tears to our eyes.....
The Graduation Party for Kristy was absolutely perfect! Despite the threat of rain it remained a beautiful night. All the kids really enjoyed the frozen drink machine, DJ, and food. We thank all the parents who came - it means so much to us to have the support from so many people.Kristy has been in Maine for "beach week" since Sunday morning, and will return tomorrow. The Peterson Family has been nice enough to open up their lovely home for Chris and his close friends to spend time together. They have, apparently, been having a terrific time!!!Kristy remains optimistic and happy, albeit very tired. We go to Hopkins on Friday for a 5 day session of chemotherapy. This will be her 3rd session. After 6 sessions the doctors will ascertain if the tumor is shrinking (Please God!)
Cancer has changed our lives and pushed us all to grow and evolve. We continue, as always, to be in the present moment and grounded in faith in God and Kristy's medical team.
With love,
Victoria and Steve
