We Are On Our Way Home

This has been our humble abode for the last 3 months and it has been nice. It's about 1000 sq ft and has a nice porch with chairs that we have often sat in reading and enjoying the sunshine. We have worn shorts more than 2/3 the time and enjoyed every minute of it.

Well, Steve only has ONE more treatment. It is with mixed emotions that we will be leaving here tomorrow, Thursday morning January 29th, 2009. We have met lifetime friends here in this special atmosphere of healing and love. We believe that none of us are here by accident, we have been led here for a reason. As we have discussed our different stories they are also similar in the miracles that brought us to this place. We have been in a little bubble here without any responsibilities to keep pulling us in different directions, it's been great. Steve is coming home healed.

The gantry crew that has worked with Steve and the other ~155 prostate cancer patients here have been extremely professional and have become his friends also. You can't believe the love that exists is this special place.

Our itinerary coming home is a little loose and may change on the way. (I told Steve that I would like to come home via Texas where it is still warm, there is a lot to be said for warm winters)

Our plan at this time is to leave after Steve's treatment Thursday morning and arrive in Newport Beach in time to attend a 5pm temple session. Friday morning we will go to San Juan Capistrano, then head to Santa Monica and spend time on the pier and beach. We will then head to Hearst Castle for a couple of tours, then Napa to visit my niece and on up to Vancouver to visit my grandfather.

Finally, we will make the last leg of our trek from Vancouver to HOME anywhere from Tuesday to Thursday, where I am sure it is a lot colder than here! It will be good to be home again with our family, friends and good neighbors.
