Carolyn and I are headed to Washington for a month. We'll be there to recoup and regroup. To enjoy Andy. To take time to feel and to grieve. To write. To be the three of us. To eat at bad restaurants. To take walks, and hopefully naps.
I hope I'll be able to be a Mom to Carolyn without "Ands." (Yes, I mean AndS).
We're going because Dad says Mom would want us to. We're going because cancer teaches you to live your life while you can and to be with those you love as much as you're able.
At the end of the month, we'll say good-bye to Andy and he'll be gone *out there* until Carolyn is one or older.
We need this time to recouperate from what we've been through. Regroup. And to prepare for what's ahead.
I think Mom will approve.
