Mall walking with Naomi

Today, after having endured a long day of various complications regarding Naomi’s chemotherapy treatment, Nina (Naomi’s mom) invited me to come have dinner with them and one of my other sisters near the hospital. We went and had giant burritos at a bustling shop in San Mateo, and then drove back to the Stanford Mall for night window shopping. Because of the chemotherapy drugs, Naomi can’t be exposed to direct sunshine for an extended period of time. Nina thought it would be good for Naomi to walk around in the warm night air, viewing the beautiful shops since it was such a beautiful night. We walked around for nearly an hour, ooh-ing and ah-ing at the beautiful jewelry in the Tiffany’s window, at the lovely dresses and shoes displayed in various shops, from Louis Vuitton to William Sonoma to BCBG. What was hilarious, is that Naomi was quite partial to a particular pair of pink Prada sun glasses. Her taste is refined already! It was lovely to watch her running around the outdoor mall, with a huge smile on her face, pointing to the windows and declaring what she wanted to see each of us adults wear with which accessories. She was so happy to be outside! Despite a rough start, in the end, Naomi had a very good day! : )
