An Eternal Optimist

Sunday, April 24, 3:30 pm, 810F (270C), Very warm sunny day

An-Eternal-Optimist-(1).png

An eternal optimist who accidentally fell from a tall building said while passing each story “All’s Well So Far.”

Today, exactly nine years ago on April 24, 2013, Sumi was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. As we enter the 10th year of our Journey, All’s Well So Far.”
