Exactly one year ago today, Jay was undergoing open heart surgery. Nearly at this time, because of the time zone differences, my partner was having veins removed from his legs, his chest opened, and was getting five bypass grafts.
His recovery was astonishing. We have had a very, very active year since. We have visited many places on several world cruises and have stayed the current winter in different parts of SE Asia. A year ago, we were not aware that we'd be spending the first anniversary after his procedure on the beach in Pattaya, Thailand!
