Nancy,

Actually, there wasn't a dry eye in the place. For his architectural thesis, Ed designed a cancer treatment and wellness center. He dedicated it to "my mom and dad, who are still here." Everyone there knew Chuck and I are both cancer survivors. And the fact that we were there at all was a miracle. My husband almost died after surgery last year, and none of us ever expected him to be able to make the trip to Seattle. I was never hugged by so many strangers in my life.

'Good hurt' comes in a lot of forms. This was one of the best for us!
