Big T and I spent the weekend in Chicago. Here is the view from our hotel room. Did you know that if you book your room at the Ritz the same day you check in, you can get a great deal?
We kicked off the weekend with a delicious family dinner.
Now that the Cubs are out of the race, we could convert all our Chicago nieces and nephews to Royals fans!
The next day we watched B and the ND Women's Club Volleyball team remain undefeated.
Later, at the Fig and Olive (great venue) we met up with a dear college friend and his wife. She is living with stage four lung cancer (and no, she has never smoked). Her positive attitude, courage in the face of fear, acceptance of the terminal nature of this life and decision to LIVE were both inspiring and comforting.
That night we watched Notre Dame beat Temple and the Royals win again. But the greatest victor we had the honor of witnessing this weekend is our brave friend who has embraced her journey and, in so doing, is showing the rest of us how to really live.
