As you all know, my husband is in the Bronx VA hospital nursing home. I drive down on Fridays to stay with him for the weekend. As I was driving down last week, I was thinking of what our future is going to be like; how sick is he going to get? I was praying to my parents to be my guardian angels to help me get through this and to give me strength. I was getting very emotional and wishing they were here with me.

Thank God I was right by the truck stop so I could pull over, because the song “Come on Eileen” came on the radio. I know it was my parents letting me know that they are with me. My mother used to sing it to me all the time when she wanted me to take her to the casinos.

My husband is having a rough time with his mouth and throat being burned by the radiation. He is hanging in there and taking one day at a time.

The Cochecton Youth Commission is redoing its Facebook page, so look for it in the upcoming weeks. With all this bad weather we are having, please keep the local road crews in your thoughts and prayers to keep them safe. Stay safe and enjoy life.

Have a great week and email leeniebeans@citlink.net or call 845/252-3568 if you have news.
