I imagine nearly everyone knows the song from The Sound of Music entitled: "A Few of My Favorite
Things", right? Well, since Lydia was a baby, it was one of her favorite songs, and one that I sang
to her often. In fact, the day that she had her first bone marrow aspiration, and had her broviac
implanted in her chest, I sang this song to her to help her relax while awaiting sedation. It was one
of many songs we used to get through the many procedures she underwent. Many people have
asked for a CD of the songs I sang during some difficult days in the hospital, and so we are
happily trying to oblige that request and to make it happen. This page is entitled "A Few of My
Favorite Things" because it contains links to some of Lydia's favorite activities and places. So,
click on the link and enjoying getting to know a little bit more about our Liddy. We hope that all of
our fund-raising activities can reflect a portion of "A Few of Her Favorite things."
A Few of My Favorite Links:
Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes is the story of a young girl in Hiroshima who gave hope to millions by
