Okay, maybe not to Shangri-La (PARADISE). Got to love my new “sarcasm” font!
Mom and I boarded a flight to New York. I felt like I was going to throw up all day. Oddly, I felt slightly less nauseous once we landed. I kept telling myself it would all be better once the surgery was over and I could concentrate on healing. I didn’t want to have the surgery. I didn’t want to have to have the surgery.
I didn’t want to have the cancer.
Again, I felt the weight of the disease … and that life was hard. Mom’s cousin, Lucille, lives on Long Island. She joined us. It was nice to have the family element of support for my mom. It allowed me to be left alone.
Here is a picture of the grounds on which I stayed. It was breathtakingly beautiful. Ironically, it was a sort of Shangri-La. A great place to be able to convalesce in nature with paths for walking, a barn with horses, clean air, and great hosts.
*Is there a font that denotes sarcasm? Well, I just decided that orange text and “Covered By Your Grace” will be my sarcastic font.
