See below his Anniversary present to her. The inscription is hard to read in the picture, but I typed it below. Pha had the tray made during the Lexington visit last week and I smuggled it back to Pinehurst. He gave it to Muv yesterday (even though they are big on doing things the day of) because she gave him a tie with horses on a Carousel that he was wearing for church Sunday morning. They met during a UK production of Carousel, must have been summer of 58.

We made beautiful things together
We travelled the world
What a joy, Amen
Children, music, laughter and theater
There are lots of tears around the house, but there is also grace in having enough time to say goodbye. Just as The Great Pha taught us how to live, he is teaching us how to die.
Given that the last dose of chemotherapy seemed to give Pha enough strength for the farewell tour to KY, he’s scheduled himself for another round of chemo this week. He’s always been very good about measuring cost (both to us the taxpayer and to his comfort) versus the benefit of any therapy. Apparently, it feels like another round of the nasty drugs is worth it.
I’ll try to write as emotions and time allow. We welcome prayers for Pha and Muv and the whole family.
The shot below is from Soph's in Charlotte as they drove up to KY last week.
