Mom’s battle with cancer appears to be going better today than it was two weeks ago. She’s in considerably less pain, is getting around better, is thinking and concentrating much better, and her blood tests and blood pressures are running good according to her doctors as of Friday. Her headaches are gone. We’re going to have a heart test on Monday to see if the heart toxicity levels are in check. Mom has had 6 of 10 radiation treatments and is doing fine. On every measurement we have, Mom is doing better. Considerably better. This week I will start having her measure out her own meds again with my supervision. I think she can do it but wish to verify first. I ask for prayers that she continue to improve and fight off the cancer again.

Drew Keawe’s father was the king of the Star Kingdom of Hawaii, and he took her death real badly. So when Drew came back, the first place I insisted we go was to visit him. He deserved to know she was back, even if her being alive was still a closely guarded secret. It was a good thing we did, because he knew a lot more about what was going down back home than the rest of us did. I won’t say he was part of the problem, you understand, but he knew the people who were very well. And when I brought his daughter home to him, let’s just say that changed his mind on a great many things. Drew could be most persuasive, and the secrets she brought back were real world changers. She brought an entire Star Kingdom to our side when we needed them, and that changed everything.

I didn’t meet Drew again until after War’s End. She showed up with a fleet and totally blew my mind. Blew my mind in a good way, by the way. I was… overjoyed to have her back, and she was happy to collect the winnings on her bets. She correctly wagered what my response would be upon seeing her, you see. Though she would say it was no gamble on her part, because she had some inside knowledge on what made me tick. Jasmine was telling tales about me. So I have sworn to tell tales about Drew. Drew made the difference out there. Well, they all did technically, but I’ll spend my life emphasizing her contribution. Even as I know she wishes I wouldn’t. What can I say? I like watching her blush when I tell the tales of her heroism. Especially since she really did make a great deal of difference out there. Every good tale must have a kernel of truth after all.

I did not know that Charles recruited Drew Keawe for his Wolfenheim Project. Yes, I was involved in it, and I helped him recruit other people for it, but he always played his cards close to his chest. And Drew was a very close card. Wolfenheim brought her back with a cloning chamber, she chose a different name, and for two decades she protected Wolfenheim from the Shang and other enemies great and small. She even took part in the final defense of Arnami Prime. She fought more battles out there than I can describe, against and beside more alien races than most people on Earth even realized existed. She saved lives out there, and she helped change the balance of power. She is one of those very brave individuals that helped break Shang power in our corner of the galaxy. It all took place five thousand lightyears from home, and most people don’t think about it. But it happened, and it mattered. Drew mattered out there.

Jasmine and I forged a very good working relationship after Drew Keawe died. We fought two decades of War together, and I would be lying if I did not admit how much she came to mean to me. She and Betty were the two beings in all the worlds who stood with me every day of that conflict. The thing I never fully understood about Jasmine was that she never seemed to… settle down. I found out why in the end. Drew was still alive, and the Jasmine with her and my Jasmine had been sharing notes with each other. Every time I thought I nailed down what made her tick, another update from Drew would arrive and my Jasmine would shift again. And she never told me what was up. I wasn’t cleared for that information, doncha know. Even while dead to the worlds, Drew still managed to complicate my life in ways I never expected.
