Thank goodness fat looks better when it's tan!
We purchased our tickets for a March 2006 Mexico vacation and paid for accommodations before Rob had his stroke last August. As the pieces were falling together in the hospital, it did cross my mind whether we would be able to make our trip. I had a vision of me trying to push Rob in his wheelchair in the sand and it wasn't a very pretty vision. It is an important trip for me, I'm meeting my three sisters a best friend and all their husbands there. We haven't been all together since my Mom passed away 4 1/2 years ago.
Within a week of leaving the hospital Rob was learning to walk with a cane, and I knew we would be able to go on our planned vacation. I soon thereafter sent the e-mail addressing the thought that my family was probably very quietly wondering - that yes it was our intention to meet them in Mexico. I got a couple sigh of relief replies. Nobody had even dared speak of their concern. So here I am, digging out the bathing suits. While it's 30 below out, I'm inside racking my brain, trying to remember where I last saw my tevas. Vowing to lose ten pounds in 4 weeks. Not sure how successful that will be as I just polished off a couple chocolate chip cookies. Thank goodness fat looks better when it's tan.
