August 24th, 2009 Posted in Daily News PostChloe has been away on a road trip. She is in great hands with Grandma Lee and Grandpa Sam. Her words to me were, “Please Mama, let me go on this trip….to leave all the worry”.
Who can’t relate to this amazinging truth?
I guess what astonished me most was her emailing me every day as to her adventures, her moments, the different hotel/motels she would experience. From really small to awesome. Food on the road has been shared as well. Ribs??? Chloe??. You GO GIRL!!
I believe I even heard utterings of a horse back riding trip. Grandma….you outdid yourself!!!!
During this time, all Dr. visits stopped.
STOPPED COLD.
Good for you Chloe for recognizing and asking for what you needed. May we all be so bright and enlightened.
Your brother went on his adventure also. He traveled North to Canada to be with Aunt Sandy and Cousins Jeremy and Regina/Rob. Seems to me I saw some pictures of him mowing Sandys lawn????? Colin is living like a vampire with days being nights and visa versa and yet I did see a pic of daylight with him in it. Bravo Colin for asking for what you needed as well.
What holds us all back from asking what we each need? Do we feel confused by our own rules of want verses need?
Perhaps the knowing isn’t as important as just the doing. Go…..do……for…..YOU>>>>.
Listen to that voice you know has been whispering for way to long now.
Thanks Nike for saying it….Just do it.
Peace out.
Dana

Kudos to Grandma and Grandpa and Sandy and family for providing the Chloe and Colin with a much needed break before school starts. I find it interesting and exciting that they are on seperate vacations–each getting to view their own importance.
What holds back? Fear of failure if we let it. Seems we all have dreams but we often tuck them away for another day when “things are better” rather than living by the old motto there is no time like the present.

May be what holds us back from asking for what we need is the fear of being rejected or ridiculed. I can relate to that one. Luckily these kids have parents who care about what they need. And they care about what other family (me) needs. These two kids are my heart. Loving them is who I am.
And they are such smart, loving, and caring little people. They are a joy to be around.
Thanks Dana and Dave for the 2 beautiful kids you have created and the 2 wonderful people they are becoming.
I hope someday we will find the missing child in our family and then my heart will be complete again.
I love you all very much
Grandma Lee
