Strangest coincidences
A couple/friends of our family that we love dearly are Julie and Rick, Parent's to Niah. There are others but for the sake of this entry Jullie and Rick are this couple. Last January, a month before the 2nd year of Paigee's battle with Cancer during an internment at LPCH we meet John and Christine; Ben's family. Rosie already knows of them through a conversation with Julie but at that time we didn't know they would be at Stanford. This family too has a child with Cancer. How very small the world is that the Diffenderfer's and our family have a common friend in Julie and Rick. How many days we overlapped in the Hospital, sharing in a unique bond that not many famlies ever share. What are the odds ?
It's get weirder.
Paigee's best friend Pia... In February this year we meet Manavi; she has AML After a couple times sharing rooms with Manavi and her family we find out that we are already connected to the family. Pia's mother and Manavi's father grew up in the same village in India.
Maybe it's because the Tech Community is a small family already. Ok, one coincidence, but two !
Six Degrees
Ok, so I still don't always get along with all my relatives, but still, this is strange !

I am not sure if you remember me, but I am Chad's mom (aka Cheddar). My name is Lori. I became good friends with Christine and John when Ben and Chad were roomates at Stanford so many times. They "took care of me".
Chad passed away from AML on March 12. My angel. I hope you remember me, you come to my prayers many times a day. Oh, I know, I used to call you Rosemary on accident!
My prayers and love...Lori Whitmore whitmorel@contech-cpi.com
