MOTHER'S DAY1

Mother’s Day Voyage

This year, for Mother’s Day, I spent the day with MY kids, Shawn and his mom….we headed over to the UW boat house and rented canoes for the afternoon.  I think it may have been the BEST Mother’s Day so far.  The day was filled with laughs and smiles.  But even more amazing was that it was a GREAT leg day.  The pain was manageable, my legs weren’t wonky, and truthfully I think that there were moments in the day that I wasn’t thinking about the disease.  That has got to be one of the best gifts EVER!!!

…Just a day, (hell a few hours) can be appreciated, because it is always there; lurking, waiting to fuck with you and your day and your plans.  Not so much YOUR decision, but the disease’s, and having to learn to accept that is difficult.
