Tomorrow I am heading out to Vancouver to spend about a week with my daughter. She is having some health problems and I am going to make myself as useful as possible. I am only glad to do what I can. Being at a distance is always frustrating when things like this happen, but at least most of the time I can get away. Getting away alone is the trick though as DH has issues with being by himself for a few days. Not being an easy traveller makes it difficult when there are other things that will take priority. It is easier for me if I know that things will be taken care of at home while I concentrate on AK. Getting away on short notice can be done for one; when both go, all those things that have to be looked after are harder to do – dog, mail, yard, plants, house etc. So will just have to be as reassuring and appreciative as I can until I leave.
