We called the purchase &#8220;Life Day&#8221; and went to Disneyland every October 23 for the next twenty-plus years. Well, she was with us twenty-three years before passing and NOT due to cancer.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mary and I rose at 7:00 am this morning, a little later than normal because it was finally cool outside and the covers were nice and warm.  Oreo was in her bed,, and she shot out of the bedroom like a rocket to the backyardtod do her business. (I think she slept so well because of all the chasing she did yesterday; come to think of it, that&#8217;s probably why I slept so late.)<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"615\" src=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-23-001-650x615.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-101557\" srcset=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-23-001-650x615.jpg 650w, http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-23-001-150x142.jpg 150w, http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-23-001-768x726.jpg 768w, http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-23-001-100x95.jpg 100w, http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-23-001-1536x1452.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-23-001-2048x1936.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8220;Let&#8217;s play!!!&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sue was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer on October 23th 1997, and the diagnosis was NOT good.
