We had a fun visit with Jean last night and then this morning, MaryAnn came for coffee too! Jean decided to continue on to the Outer Banks for an exploration. Autumn and Echo managed to find some accommodation with each other. I'm just thankful my big dog didn't eat Jean's little dog! She will stop by on her way back to Kentucky, so we will have another chance to visit in a few days. MaryAnn and my mom have become fast friends as well.
Mom and I are off to Kingsport this afternoon for a look-see foray into wig shopping and a visit with Mary, whom Mom met on the plane coming out. She's a 6-year survivor with information and a circle of friends to share with me. We somehow manage to find each other and connect. Despite the shock and trauma of this stupid, senseless disease, something good comes out of all of it. I cling to that.
I can't believe that Mom must return to her life tomorrow. It's been so great to spend time together, and it will be hard to say goodbye. I know I must deal with the "living alone" thing again, but it will be weird after having constant companionship and support close at hand for the past 5 months. I'll probably end up talking to the dog to ease the silence, and then everyone will be concerned about my mental health as well!
