In London Town! After a lousy night’s sleep peppered by the rambunctious rants of late-night Covent Garden carousers, we feasted on a British brekky of sausage, eggs, baked beans and tomatoes. Then Susan took her FIRST SUBWAY RIDE EVER to South Kensington. Can...
Bath, England. Yeah. It’s just a little pretty. Thanks Susan for the wonderful soft landing in your neck of the woods! We couldn’t have asked for a better few days. So sad to leave …
Susan and Jonathon’s club. It’s called Babington House. Famous people hang out there and get married there and avoid the ugly outside world there. I want to go there and never leave. Also pictured above, Susan and Jonathon’s...
Cheerio, y’all! England has been WONDERFUL, thanks to the gracious Thompson family and a surreally beautiful countryside. After meeting up with Susan (background: I used to babysit Susan’s children when I was a child) and Rose (hello, my daughter) at...
Deirdre Timmons
An accomplished writer and filmmaker, Deirdre Timmons is a native Northwesterner who leads a busy life between working and spending time with her family. In the spring of 2013, Deirdre was caring for her mother with Alzheimer’s in addition to her normal routine. So when she began feeling tired and forgetful, she chalked it up to her busy schedule, age, and possible early symptoms of Alzheimer’s. It wasn’t long after that she began experiencing regular dizziness, lack of concentration, unexplained weight loss, and extensive bruising. This combination of symptoms seemed odd, so Deirdre sought the advice of her doctor and subsequently began physical therapy for dizziness. When the symptoms worsened, she pursued further investigation.
After MRIs, x-rays, blood tests, a CAT scan, and a brain biopsy, her brain surgeon diagnosed Deirdre with a malignant medulloblastoma brain tumor. Her prognosis: one month to live. That was five years ago.
