At Tillie's request, I'm starting this thread about my decompression vacation.
Had this trip planned and tickets bought before I last fiasco. So glad I did.
When checking in at home Brian is doing fine, his old self, like nothing happened. I did clear this trip with him before leaving and he was fine with it. However he has no memory of the bad time, so no idea he was so close to gaining his wings and being free of this monster.
A friend had written a tribute to him for our church newsletter. What a wonderful article. It was written during the bad days. He is also someone I spoke with about being very involved in the memorial service ( after the fact as B got better before I could make that call). That newsletter arrived in my email after commencing my trip. Wonderful tribute and made me think too at some of his observations.
I started my trip yesterday and mostly we just hung out and took a couple of walks.
Today we drove to a local quilt store. It was awesome. Haven't gotten to one in years. Such beautiful fabrics. I even picked up a pattern, though not for a quilt specifically, but a craft tote, little one to use with my knitting.
Tomorrow we are headed to help my GF's brother. He lost his wife last month, and she has tons of crafting supplies that he is selling. Unfortunately she was a shop a holic and would buy dozens of the same items. He needs to clear out a 400 sq ft area packed with stuff.
i will update tomorrow or Friday.
Hugs,
Sue
