Thanks for the good wishes

Well, here I am on Sunday evening, the last night in Calgary. As I drove out of the parking lot at the Fanning Center I said my good byes and I sincerely hope that I do not have to park there again for a very long time. It is now time to turn in my parking pass for the deposit refund. Sure hope someone is on duty at 7am tomorrow morning.

We are apprehensive about our move but trying to look positively at the next step. Gord has been asking me questions (in his own unique way). He wants to know what his brain scan results were which we don't know yet, and if I have talked to many people about Halvor Jonson. He is also thinking that there is something "wrong" with him. That shows how intuitive he is at this particular time as yesterday, I almost lost my own life. It has taken me 24 hours to come to grips with the truth of the near death incident for me and I want to mention it now because it has great significance to our situation. I was driving down Hwy 2 yesterday morning on the way home from the lake and close to Olds, I hit a patch of ice and the truck just went sideways, then did a 360 and headed into the median and over toward the oncoming traffic. I saw a signpost that I was headed for and that's when I said " Not now, Gord needs me and I cannot die and please don't let me be injured enough to have to go to a hospital!!!!!". I turned the steering wheel and just missed hitting the post head on, it took the left side mirror off, dented the front panel, wrecked the bumper somehow, dented the rear panel, and popped the tailights out so they were hanging there but still connected. I pushed them back into place, checked out the damage, hopped back in the truck since no one would stop to see if I was allright, and drove out of the ditch back up onto the highway and went to the Fanning Center. I am a little stiff on my left side today but I am determined not to let Gord know about it until the time is right. I just want to get him settled into the Halvor Jonson and then I will deal with the police reports, insurance and repairs. I say "WHY NOW" does this happen. I truly am looking for the gift in this all but I am stretching to find the answer. If anyone has any insights, please let me know!
Bottom line is, Gord knows something is going on, and some day he will read the blog and really know how I protected him, and I am fine for now - mainly because I have to be and that says something about the human spirit. If we have to pull ourselves together , we can and we do. A life lesson.
I am really looking foward to returning to the lake and getting reconnected with our friends there. I think it will be good for Gord to finally get home to his comforts. I will just try to make him as comfortable as I can and I must say to all of you out there, he really values your friendships. He cries now every time someone leaves that is close to him and the emotions are so sincere. I believe that the people connections are more important than anything in the world. Thank you to all who have come to visit us at the Foothills and the Fanning and to those that send their messages via the email and blog. I only hope we can be there for all of you when you need us!
Love to all
Sheila
