I bawled my eyes out when I was writing to my godparents last night. Then I bawled my eyes out this morning when Marian called and told me it was much too difficult for me to stay home and that I ought to go to Vancouver to be with Michael and Jade and that she and Jim would pay for me to get down there. So I am, in about 8 hours from now.
In the meantime, my godparents generously swooped in and brought food supplies to Michael and Jade (plus took them out of the hospital to a nice restaurant) and a friend in Ottawa phoned her parents in Vancouver, who also brought food, and another friend in Toronto somehow made arrangements via the Internet to have some food delivered to Michael and Jade on Monday. On my end, neighbours have agreed to look after the pets, drive me to the airport, keep me company, feed me… Unbelievable! I’m overwhelmed with gratitude.
Oh, and I just noticed that Michael made a third blog post today, and he tells it much better than I do. While you’re at it, he talks about the tests Jade will have to have this week, and how she’s adapted to hospital life.
It’s after midnight and I need sleep. I’ll update again when I can.
