Graduation - Update

Hi everyone,

I am very excited + proud - my oldest daughter is graduating with her undergraduate degree on Wednesday. We are leaving tomorrow afternoon; it is a 3 hour drive and her graduation is early on Wednesday. We are staying overnight in an inn + this is the first night I have spent away from home (except for hospital) since I was diagnosed in March 2009. I am a little nervous about that; it is funny how comfortable I have been @ home since this diagnosis but this is a good way to "test the waters" by spending 1 night away. I just wanted to share my happy news.

Hi,

I am back from our one night away + I want to say thanks Pam, Mary, Donna, Kathi, Rick, Tina, Craig, Kathryn + Kim for all your kind words + encouragement. The four of us (my husband, the graduate, my younger daughter + I) had a wonderful time. We stayed at a lovely inn that we have stayed in several times before. After we arrived on Tuesday night we had a fantastic dinner at an Italian restaurant. We were on the 3rd floor of the inn (no elevator). This is a very old buiding + the stairs were very steep. I was up + down them a number of times + as luck would have it there were quite a few stairs in the building where the graduation was held. My husband says now that he knows I can handle all those stairs over + over he will push me to do more walking etc. That is probably what I need! Anyway, the ceremony was lovely, + it really is a proud moment when you attend a ceremony that celebrates the successes one of your children achieves. Thanks to all of you for sharing my pride + joy.
