My dear husband is leaving me to go and visit his parents for a few weeks and I am going to be left to my own devices !! Beware world havoc will ensue ! I can say that I would have loved to have gone with him but sometimes I can be more of a hindrance then a help as they say. He wants to spend quality time with them and I would be the one saying take me here. Take me there, plus an 8hr flight. I think i would need some kind of recovery time embedded into the trip so here I will stay for now. Plus I have a walk to finish organizing etc….I have been getting my team together and we will all be tying up our shoes at some point and doing the hd walk.
While good old hubby is on his flight we will be walking. I am so proud of this team. We surpassed all of our goals once again. But now we have gone international on our walk. It’s amazing how word spreads and support gets larger. Last year our team had about 30 people total. ½ of team Hunting for hope was in Calgary and ½ was in London. Plus the furry friends. This year we have 46 team members of that we have 30 walking here in London, 2 in Ottawa, 1 in Mississauga (along with her brother’s baseball team!), 8 in Calgary, 2 in Thailand and Australia and Poland. All have been instructed to wear their team shirt or a blue or purple one , take pictures and post them on the team page with a sign telling us where they are walking so we can show people the diversity of our team. I love the fact that we also have little people on our team. They will grow up knowing the importance of this walk to the many people around them. As well as our four legged furry friends 6 in total that if in need will for sure cheer you up with their antics. Now i must tell you something that I was really truly grateful to hear about as in his own way hubby even though not going to be at the walk is still looking out for me..he tells me that he thinks it would be best if he drives himself to the airport therefore eliminating the need for me to sit in the car for 4hrs as I would be going with him to the airport and then keeping my mom company on the way back.
This he knows is a perfect scenario for the flare bear to come out and play and he most likely would! So I graciously take him up on it even though I am not keen on him driving alone and the price to park and fly wasn’t that bad so it’s a compromise my body is willing to take and I won’t be in flare bear land for the walk. It’s bittersweet but it’s a win for my body so I won’t fight him on it. Love you my dearest !
Plans change as they tend to do at the last minute and hubby’s plans to drive to the airport were changed up by an offer of a ride from his sister that made me feel better and some of my stress go away. Driving back was what I was going to be worried about when you’re all tired and worn out from a 9hr airplane ride plus everything else in between.
