This weekend Sue, Phil and Molly came to meet Penny for the first time and to visit. Sue and Phil live in Michigan and they come out to visit their daughter, Molly, who like me, moved out to LA to pursue her dreams of working in Hollywood.
I have known Sue all my life as she went to school with my mum and dad many, many, moons ago! She has always been like an aunt to me so its very natural that I call her Aunt Sue. When I was a teenager, she gave birth to Molly who was like the sister I never had.
We have gotten together so much over the years they truly are part of my family. Unfortunately, they have experienced a lot of deaths in their family recently so they haven't been able to meet Penny. Penny didn't mind though. She sensed they were good people and immediately took to them.
Here are a couple of photos I took over lunch at Dim Sum in downtown ChinaTown.
As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen. If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public. Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me. Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
