Bon Voyage!!!

Well the time has come, the things are packed, and the house is asleep and still...except for me of course! With the help of sandra, robert, chad, and kelly i managed to get all 6 of us packed and ready to go..the santo's came to help bath my little 2 girls and get things into the truck..
i cant believe its hear ALREADY!! Robert gave jon a blessing and me one as well..i find so much strength and comfort in the blessing that was given..i was sad to have missed jons blessing..he said it was just wonderful...
Thank you to all those that have encouraged me to go on this trip and to include jon..he's ready to go..he got his voice activated and head set thing so he can do what he wants on his laptop - he'll be a happy camper! he said he probably wont be doing tons of stuff on the cruise- but to be with his ENTIRE family--this is something that will never ever happen again and he's so blessed to be in a position to be able to do this-- even if its going to be hard..
Pray that all goes well, that this brings us a fresh hope for what is possible, that life does exist beyond medication, cathing, pressure releases etc..
as i prepared for this trip today..i thought to myself..its really wierd and sad to be doing it all myself..i am sad that jon is not the same..he's still jon, but different i suppose..he's just so much more quieter..he just seems 50 years older to me..i look forward to spending time with him..i miss him like CRAZY MAD! this really is like a death...he's still with me, but he's not the same..but im SOOOOOOo thankful i have him regardless of what or who or how he is..i have to remember its not always going to be like this..in time and more months..he'll be stronger and more awake and all those things..it just takes time..im one of those people that does GREAT with time lines..i know i have this many weeks then the next thing will happen..this is insane that i have no time line whatsoever...
well im falling asleep here as i should be! i will write tomorrow and let everyone know how the 4 hour and 44 minute airplane trip goes..kinda nervous! not for jon, but for the 4 girls...thats a longgg ride!!
till the next time - i'll be writing to you from Florida!

I've been keeping up with your blog and all that is happening. I am happy for all of you that you will get this much needed "break". I can only begin to imagine what you are going through. I am sure the lessons you are learning in the process will make you an even stronger person than you are now. You must be bound for greatness. Anyways, have a wonderful trip!
