Leanna's Winding Path
Hi friends. Thanks for checking in on me. I thought this would be a good place to share with you the details about my journey in this life. I hope to keep it simple and honest.
I love you.
7 October 2011 – Mom in Maryland?
Yep. You heard right. My mom is coming to good ol’ MerryLand.
Some of you may be surprised to know that I haven’t seen my mom since my cancer diagnosis. That was over 3 years ago.
This may seem shocking to you, but you have to understand that my mom lives in Missouri, and I in Maryland. It is an 18-hour drive. The plane ticket would be over $300.
She lacks the resources, and I to lack the resources after I consider the other fun opportunities I have to spend them on. Usually it’s something more exciting than a trip to Missouri. Of course, I wait until I literally can’t travel, so for me to see her, she must come visit me.
Well, some of my friends heard mention that I hadn’t seen Mom since I was diagnosed and that I would like to see her. These friends told their friends this heart-wrenching story. Poor girl they said. Let’s help her. Well then they told their friends who told their friends until six billionmilliongaziillion people knew my sad, sad story. And then all those who had heard my story (which was pretty much all the people in the world) decided that collectively, they could help.
Do you people realize what I’m saying? I was able to bring nations together with my story. In this moment of peace, they all agreed together to help me. Wow.
So they decided that if they split the ticket six BMG ways then the cost of the ticket is less than a nice bottle of wine. So lets do it they say.
And they do.
After all of the details were sorted, it was decided. My mom will be here November 2 through November 16. Oh are you in for some interesting posts then. Two full weeks that I will be hangin’ with my mom. It’s going to be interesting, I tell ya. But it will be really awesome too. I can’t believe how much I’m actually looking forward to it. My heart nearly bursts with excitement.
So I would like to say thank you to the world for coming together and putting your cultural differences aside even though you don’t know each other and purchasing my mom a ticket to come see me. And an especially big thank you to my special and loving friends who truly made this happen.
I love you all.
Leanna
