I just wanted to mention that something positive has come about regarding my BFF with cancer. I did the math, I can afford it, and I'm going to see her for a week in late June! She still feels okay, so we're going to do some fun stuff in her state that she didn't get a chance to before her mom died. And, it must have been fate, as another very dear friend told me he was going on vacation at that time and actually driving that way, so he's taking me! That cut my airfare in half, plus I have great companionship on the way! I can't wait to see her and catch up and spend all the time I can with her. I just thought you'd all like to know something good came of the news. :) Meg ---

This is great news! It's always wonderful when things just fall into place like this, you KNOW it was meant to happen. You'll have a great time being with her, what state does she live in? Congrats! Renie♥ ---

I just want to say that I'm also very grateful to have such a supportive and understanding boss to give me time off, too. Her response was "Of course, hell, I'd choose friends over work too!" (my boss is a real hoot.) Meg ---

Meg - It's cosmically perfect! The stars must have aligned right or something. And it's great that you found you could go to see you BFF with cancer. Really great. Her condition makes ours seem somewhat more manageable. And my, I'm sorry that she lost her mother. She'll really need you to give her some fun. And it will be fun, too, since your both good friends. And how fortunate to have another friend heading out in the same general direction! Is that cool or what??? Let me just advise you to please bring LOTS of water with you as it gets SO hot when you're traveling on the road. Enjoy your trip! Enthusiastically, Petunia ---
