I guess I'm a little surprised this hasn't been done already, but as many of you may know, in August this year, about 6 months after Charlotte's surgery and about 2 months after she was done with chemo and radiation treatments, Charlotte paid for her entire family to go on a cruise to Alaska. We have a ton of pictures and some very neat memories. Here are only a few of those pictures.
At this time, Charlotte was strong enough to stand and walk a little. She enjoyed the food on the ship, although it didn't always stay down. She didn't talk much, but you could converse with her. She got to go whale watching and grandkid watching at the various ports-o-call.
Now, she is not able to stand any more and she does not converse hardly at all. For everyone, especially her kids, this is the hardest part. She is with us, but not really.

I am so happy this trip happened. She shared this with me in the planning stages and was so excited to have the family together for the venture. What precious memories y'all will have.
ReplyDeleteEmma was the best bus driver ever! She used to honk as she drove by my house to the bus stop because she knew I was always running late. I would hear the honk and know I had to run out the door right then if I was going to make it on the bus that day! Seriously... Best bus driver ever!!!
