MAE OUI!
It is with big sloppy tears of joy that we announce our nephew and niece, Joe and Beth, will soon be introducing a little sister to their three-boy brood, Andrew, John and Grant.
After jumping through some final hoops, two-year-old Mae Gillespie will jet to Dallas from southeast China to join her family, which happens to be our family too!
Congratulations Gillespie clan. Sending big hugs and lots of love through the ether.
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.
