Aunt Zal

Well I just got back from visiting sweet home Chicago. It was wonderful to rediscover the city with a friend of mine from Switzerland - as I did so many years ago as a girl with my Aunt Zal.

Unfortunately, my beloved Aunt, as you may know, is rather ill. Nearly 6 weeks ago we found out that she is suffering from acute leukemia. And since then she has had several complications and is currently unable to get out of bed, eat much at all, and is at times rather incoherent.

I love her so much and dont know who I would be without her rich influence on my life.

We are all just hoping for the best!
