Finally, we are going home.

[ms.peachy]

Booked our flight this morning and by this time next week, we'll be getting ready to go to the airport.

I can't believe it's really finally happening.

I can't wait to see my husband again.

I'm so excited for him to see how wonderful our beautiful gorgeous awesome little baby girl is.

I wish it was today.

But at least it's only one more week.

Finally.

Sorry ggirl - I know not everyone is up to speed on the ever-unfolding drama that is my life of late, but many people here are. So in the interest of not repeating every detail, but filling in the gaps for the unaware, the gist of the story is this:

My mom was re-diagnosed with breast cancer in June, shortly after I had my baby. She'd had it before in 2002, but had been clear for a while. She needed to start aggressive chemotherapy right away, as the cancer had set in very quickly and tenaciously (stage 4 metastcised to the liver, for those of you who know about these things).

Mom also was the legal guardian for my nephew, who has a form of autism called Asperger's syndrome. She had guardianship because my sister (his mother) is mentally and physically disabled. My disabled sister also lived with my mother - she is not totally dependent, but not totally independent either. She's sort of like, eternally 16 years old, in terms of her mental maturity.

So, in late August, I came back to the US to help my mom out for a while, while she had her chemo, and to try and sort out a better long term situation for my sister and my nephew. It was only suposed to be until mid-October. But then my mom died in the first week of September, due to complications from the chemo.

And unfortunately she died before we could sort out all of the legal issues related to my sister and nephew, tranferring guardianship and all that business, so legally it turned into a big mess and I had to stay or else my nephew would have been named a 'ward of the state' and been taken into foster care, and my sister would likely have been put into some horrible mental hospital.

As you can see, then, it's been a pretty intense couple of months. And I've busted my ass to make it all work out as best as possible and I'm quite ready to go home now, thanks.

So the answer to your question is, I've been in Michigan, and now I am in Florida, and a week from now I will be on a plane. Hoorah.

[ToucanSpam]

Glad you're finally going home, I had no idea you were doing all of this. Sounds like you've been through a lot, a trip home will do you well.

[marsdaddy]

Congrats on hanging in there and helping the family make it through this time. Remember the look of happiness on your husband's face when he gets to see you and the little one.
