The following days after Finlay's Birthday were busy with final arrangements and packing, not to mention taking Gavin and Maxwell to the Douglas Firs water slides for Finlay's Birthday on the Monday as they were unable to make the trip. We also enjoyed a girls hiking day to Ptarmigan ridge, with Andrea, Cathy, Leslie, Erika, Beth, Cathy's sister Fran and Linda. Accompanied with lovely cheese fondu and wine. It was a great pow wow and a chance for tears to be shed, news to be broken, fears to be discussed, wishes to be granted. in the security of our friendship group.
I spoke about my fears for the future, hoping to see another one of Finlay's and Heather's birthdays, my hope that James can keep giving the kids the same quality of life that we have so strongly strived and worked for, my wish that things could be different.
It was a beautiful day, fantastic friendship and support and was proud that Linda could be part of it and meet the people who have been a huge support to me in the past 7 months.
Then it was off to Kerry's house for a bar b q that evening, before packing. Then a breakfast at Silver tips with friends from work. Quick last dose of Iv VitC , before heading to the hotel for a meal and sleep before our travels with Linda to Washington.
