She's not a cancer patient but she plays one on TV

Mom, you are doing great.  Keep putting one foot in front of the other.  An additional week or so is not so bad.  It gives you some extra time to learn more Korean than just "hello".  Speaking of which, I have given your second-oldest granddaughter all of my remaining won and coins.  She actually has two piggy banks completely full of big cash and says she is going to use it for college.  Any leftover and she'll buy college books.  See how it works when you tell a child, from newborn to ten years-old, that they ARE going to college?  Now she says she wants to be a politician... oh and fashion designer.  I can just see the White House now in thirty years.

The person I was having that "conversation" with (as noted in my last post) seems to have backed-off.  Why anyone would think that South Korea is a third world country is beyond me.  After listing each un and ill informed question from that person with facts seems to have helped.  I truly hope that this all will end up in medical history someday.  That doctor from Korea who found the way to cure disease and illness. 

Let me change my self-questioning and any past doubt to:  THIS WILL WORK.

This should not be because we couldn't find a reason not to go to Korea for this treatment.  This should be because THE FIND A CURE FOR CANCER WORLD TOUR - SOUTH KOREA 2010 means something.  It means that there was enough information we could sink our teeth into and make an informed decision.  It means that after you keep putting one foot in front of the other... you move... you get somewhere.  And after all that you have been through (and are still going through), you haven't stopped.  You know the destination and that's why you keep going.  A lot of mountains have been climbed and a lot of journeys traveled down unknown paths. The difference between those who have the courage to do those things and you? 

Nothing.

Well...

I am reading the CaringBridge updates from Dawn, Jackie, James and John everyday.  So wishing the best for everyone there.  Please give Jackie a hug from me.

Have you finished watching all of your Boston Legal DVD's yet? 

Much love from your family in California!! 

Here is the Tshirt you will have to wear when you get back...
