Living In The Moment

So what do you say to a friend that just purchased a brand new jet and offers to fly you to Portland for the week-end to celebrate your 30th anniversary?

We had gone out to dinner tonight and Beau was there at the restaurant. Now this is the same Angel that flew us to Seattle three times since we started our cancer walk. We have known that we would never fly to Seattle with Beau again. Medically speaking, Seattle cannot help us. We never even thought of taking a trip just for the fun of it.

Gus and I do not believe in coincidences. We believe in God-Things. Gus wanted us to go to the Oregon coast for our anniversary on Valentine’s Day. That is where we went for our first anniversary. I did not want to be by myself that far from home if Gus got sick, so I wouldn’t even consider it.

I felt we could go to Coeur d’Alene for our anniversary week-end. If Gus got sick, it was close enough that Scott or Lindsey could help me get their dad home. Then Gus asked what I thought of exchanging our week-end for a week in Mexico. I agreed only because we would be with two other couples who could help us if we needed it.

The timing is perfect. Gus is just finishing his chemo-free week and this is when he feels his best. So as of a couple of hours ago, we decided to go to the Oregon coast as well as Mexico in two weeks!

Living with uncertainity helps Gus and I learn to live in the moment.

So the answer to the question at the beginning of this post is . . . "What time do you want us to be at the airport Saturday morning, Beau?"
