Unconditional Love

We were asked to go on a trip with my son and his girlfriends family. They planned a family trip and a few people backed out and we were asked to filled the vacancies. At first I was a little hesitant, go figure I’m usually the one saying YES to everything, not this time. It was different, I was apprehensive because we don’t know these people, we only met the girlfriend, I was battling my own thoughts and I wasn’t winning anything and out of the blue my husband who never wants to go anywhere said “LET’S GO”. I was floored and amazed he would even want too, so here we are days from leaving and we are Winging It and just going for it.

The decision to drive wasn’t the plan, we were going to fly but the cost of renting a car and the flights kind of put a little damper on things, so we decided to drive. This way we have freedom to go places and see other states as we drive through. We did this several years ago when Joe was at his worst, so he’s a lot better and it should be much easier, let’s pray it is. Since the decision to go, we have been looking at websites, checking out food, places to go, things to see and it’s all too much to plan so we are just going to as plan Wing It.

It’s not something Joe likes to do. He likes a plan. He likes to know. He needs that structure. I don’t. Let’s just load up and go. I feel the best memories are made when there really isn’t a stressful plan to follow. We leave in a few days and our bags our packed, because if you know Joe, you know he likes to prepare. I’ll give him that, because he needs some control over the situation and if that gives him so peace, then so be it. He keeps repacking in his mind and packing. I know we will forget something, we always do but it will be okay, we will survive and it will be a great experience. We need this now more than ever. Life is moving too fast not to take the time to make more memories.

So here’s to a WINGING IT on whim and making great memories with him. Love life everyone, it’s too short not too.
