Dear classmates today is Mayet's birthday celebration and celebration of life. She is no longer eligible for transplant but she is doing well. This is the first time since her miraculous recovery that we saw and talked to her. She sure had a lot of stories to tell. Today is also our Thanksgiving lunch because our original group of 4 is once again complete with a bonus - Ting. Linda P

Mayet had
not been able to talk for almost two years because of the ever-present tracheostomy which could not be closed. At lunch, she had so many stories to tell, so many
thoughts to share. And so many questions to ask about the class and all the
happenings since the first reunion at Mike's. Time became our enemy as we had
to break off after three hours so she could rest before her dialysis later in the
day. She wishes we could meet more often and asked who will have a birthday
next. To which Ting replied: why should there be a birthday? Why, indeed? Choy
Mom was not
able to undergo kidney transplant and will no longer have the procedure due to
possible complications. But she is much stronger now thanks to all of your
prayers. Please continue to include her in your prayers for her tracheostomy to be
eventually removed. God bless all of you and good health to all as well. -
Dimples (Jocelyn Navalta, daughter of Mayette).
Thank you

Sharing laughter...and a drink of water! The love goes on.

response: Yes, she plans to join us at Mike's. If her tracheostomy is finally
taken out as planned, for sure she's going.
It is heartwarming to see friends get together and support each other. Reminds me of the song Lean on Me. The chorus is really meaningful:
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on.
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on.

Note: I used Mayette in the title because that's how Dimples spells it.
