Toronto, Here I Come

I went out to dinner this evening with Dee and her parents, down to The Silo in Lewiston. The weather was actually really nice today, and it was a beautiful night near the river. I enjoyed the company I was with, and when I got back into Dee's car so she could bring me home, I saw that I had a text. It was from Joanie. She said that she and Rick decided they would be able to bring me to Toronto for Euan's movie memorial event. I just stared at the message and smiled because I was so happy, since I wasn't really sure they could! I am beyond thankful, because this means so much to me. I'm trying to explore the area of the theater on Google Maps to see what's around so that Joanie and Rick can do something entertaining while I'm seeing the movie. Toronto is a big city, so there should be something that they can see or do! I'm not sure if either of them read my blog, but if they do, it really means so much to me that you are doing this. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I am so glad things are working out for you. Do they do baseball? Maybe the Blue Jays will be in town. No matter, it worked out. (((hugs)))

Your prayers were definitely answered. Going to the memorial will give you some closure. Have a safe journey.

Aww..that's so sweet of them. And I hope it all works out perfect so they can enjoy themselves too. I read your post below this one. Have you ever spent time at the Butterfly Observatory near the falls?

My Most Inspiring Possession

Image
A dear friend named Judi, whose journal I've been reading for years, has brought back her ARTSY ESSAY CONTEST ! I'm very excited about this, and hope that others will read the wonderful essays already posted in Judi's blog! Here is the topic for this month's new installment: What is your favorite and most inspiring possession? Tell us about it, and if you want an extra creative challenge... tell us about it without naming it until the very last sentence of your essay:):):) I own alot of possessions. When I first moved out of my parents' house, almost 9 years ago, I took this possession with me. It was mine, I had bought it, but I did allow the other members of my family to use it from time to time while I was at home. This possession has been a tremendous outlet for me to do a wide variety of things. I was able to record the barking of our first family dog, something that was cherished when she sadly died way too early for her doggy lifespan. I also was able to save...

The Ideal Day

Once again, it's that time of month for dear Judi's Artsy Essay Contest! Please see the rules and regulations for this month here . I entered a couple month's ago when Judi decided to revive this wonderful contest, and decided I'd like to give it a shot this month! Here goes! My Ideal Day My ideal day would start out at 7am to get ready for work, instead of getting up to take a pill. My ideal day would be going to work as a teacher, instead of wondering if I'd feel well enough to do anything for that day. My ideal day would be working out at a gym, instead of hoping to have enough energy to just walk for 6 minutes on the treadmill at home. My ideal day would be to freely walk about around my home and in public, instead of being tethered to a plastic tube going into my nose, providing oxygen to keep me going. My ideal day would be remembering meeting times with friends or family, instead of keeping track of the 8 different times I need to take a pill or vitamin in ...

Lost

Growing up with pulmonary hypertension and congenital heart disease was sometimes lonely, because there wasn't anyone around me who felt the same way I did physically. No one had to stay out of gym because they got too tired and too short of breath like I did on a constant basis. No one had to wear a holter monitor like the one time I had to in 4th grade. Talk about trying to play mum ball in class, all you could hear was the monitor thing making noise. Although I could always go to sports games, I wasn't able to participate in any type of sport, because again, it was just physically way too much for my body to handle. I didn't really regret any of this. I thought it was just me and my normal. I thought I was the only person out there who really dealt with this kind of thing, but that was ok. I graduated high school, and started college. I worked, went to classes, and in the last year of college, started going out a lot more. I graduated with my education degree, and began ...
