The best thing I ever did was call AnnMarie the day after Christmas. I told her about my wife’s new cancer diagnosis and what we had been doing. Turns out she had other plans for my wife–recommendations that led to life-saving treatment. Thanks to AnnMarie, my wife and I are planning our first vacation in a very long time. Never one to take anything for granted, she has a Plan B (including the oncologist and treatment) already identified if my wife’s cancer ever returns. Friends forever, we can’t wait to meet for the first time in person once the pandemic ends.
