Orange

Orange who?

Orange you glad I didn't say banana?!?!?!"

Today, we were all asked to wear orange to work in honor of our friend and colleague Bonnie.  Bonnie, the woman who occasionally invites me over for dinner, has leukemia.  She is currently on a leave from work because she is having chemo and it is really taking a toll on her.  This is her second or third attempt at chemo and I really hope it works for her.  She has been beyond strong through all of this.  If I hadn't have been told that  Bonnie has cancer, I never would have know.  She still has a completely positive outlook on life and is fighting this disease as best she can.  Anyway, back to work today, Bonnie's birthday is tomorrow and everyone at work wanted to do something special for her.  After the 9:05 this morning, we all congregated in our orange garb and took some pictures to show our support and wish her a happy birthday from the office.  A few of us are going to lunch with Bonnie tomorrow and will give her the picture.  Oh, by the way, orange is the support color for leukemia in case you didn't know.

Happy Birthday Bonnie!  I am so glad I have gotten to know such and incredible and brave woman through my time here.  Thanks for taking me in and making me feel like I had a family out here in California.  I will always wear orange for you.
