June 2010 was our last visit with Sandi. When we went out to Colorado to visit her we really didn't know what we would be able to do together. We knew she was no longer getting treatment for her cancer and that she was on oxygen. She had already lived eight years with a cancer that upon diagnosis she had been told that she had only an 85% chance of living one year. And did she ever live. Every day she lived her life fully present. I have never met anyone who could do that. She never borrowed trouble or wasted time with worry. Like I said, when we went to see her I didn't know what to expect....but I didn't expect this!
Sandi enjoyed being a crazy shopping cart driver.
Sandi just carried that oxygen all around town. She was like the energizer bunny. Once I had to go back to the hotel for a nap. After a bit, she called me and asked if I was done and ready to do something. She had so much energy! I asked her if she took a nap. Surely she must have needed one. She said no. She wasn't tired so she gave Misty, their corgi, a bath. Of course she did. That was Sandi.
