A Time for Change


B and I have officially been at Spectrum for the past 5 weeks and we have come to realize that it is time for a change. As of tomorrow B and I will be moving to Trillium Woods in Grand Rapids Michigan. This is a hospice home. For most of us, including B and I, hospice is a very scary word. But only in learning what hospice really represents have we come to appreciate what hospice has to offer. Hospice offers what Spectrum has been lacking and that is hope. As Dr. # 12 said, "Dum Spiro Spero", While I breathe, I hope. This happens to be the state motto for South Carolina, and we are living and breathing by these inspiring words.

We hope that B feels better, that B walks again, and that B has time to rest and heal. At this point we are stopping treatment, but that does not mean that we won't revisit treatment. B's body just needs a break and we intend to give it the break it has earned over the past 11 months. From what I understand Trillium Woods is wonderful and offers a family environment. I am sure that we will enjoy our time there and once we get settled I am sure that B and I will be open for visits.

It has been a long and tiring 5 weeks and we are much looking forward to the change. B and I are heading out early tomorrow morning. It is the prison break we have been talking about. We intend to celebrate Turkey Day with D Bone, B's Lil Bro, Nanc, Big D, and possibly Jr. It should be a nice day and we are glad to be together.

I guess I wanted to let people know that we are changing residence and to let you all know where to find us. I promise to update more after this newest transition. We appreciate the thoughts and prayers.

Look for more updates in the future and thanks again for stopping by.
