Happiness is a Purring Kitty

In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away.     - shing xiong

A little about me...
My family and friends are so supportive I love you so much.  Please call, email or message this site whenever you feel like it. 
I am currently still mobile, and would like to be walking as long as possible.
I am stumbling around and it is difficult for me to go up stairs.  Travis & I are going to have to sell our condo and move into a wheelchair accessible apartment.  We love our view and hope to find a spacious place on the west end with 2 bedrooms so people can come & visit!
 I am so in love with my husband and am the luckiest girl in the world.
 I love my Canadian, African, New Zealand, English, & US families.
 I have the best friend you could ever have.
 My friends are so incredible that I often think that I must be a really good person to be surrounded with such amazing people.
 I love cats and my two kitties Dory & Buddy are my comfort.
 I have pet a cheetah not once, but twice.
 I have had amazing careers, a YMCA Camp Counselor & Director, A Childrens Museum Supervisor, A Teacher and an Art Therapist.

You are just so incredible. The more I get to know you the more amazingness there is to discover. My hope is that Dayne and i can come and live near by to you in Canada so we can just be there for the both of you, the good times, the funny times and the terrible times.

We are all so overwhelmed by your strength of character, zest and passion for life, positivity, immense love and graciousness. We feel ministered to when we are the ones wanting to give to you, you bless us more than you can imagine! We are so happy you are going to Italy. Watch out for those Italian men, they have a thing for blonde babes like you!

Trav, you are every part of this journey as much as Carol ( I hope this doesnt sound offensive but you both have LG) I know the journey Carol has to endure is the one you will endure and vice-a versa. Your love is incerdible and so strong that nothing can take that away.

All roads lead to Rome. May it be a wonderful holiday to embrace all that is good in life. Pasta, passion and paintings. xx

Please call on us and let us know how we can be useful or of bebefit in anyway. We want you to do that. We dont always know what is helpful and we also want you to say what is not.

Just know every moment we love you and think of you.

Carol - What a fantastic idea, this blog. Please know that if you need anything, help packing, litter box cleaning or a cup of tea, I'm your girl. I th ink it's great that you put the educational piece on here as well, as I think a lot of us had questions but may have been too uncomfortable to ask them. You and Travis (although I have never met him) are in my thoughts and I send you positive energy.

Hi Carol,
Your mom was kind enough to share your wonderful blog with me. I have only just started to appreciate what you have here and it is gorgeous. Thanks for being so generous with those who care. Hugs and lots of love to you and Travis. (Though I don't know him, he must be truly wonderful to have won your heart.)
I look forward to reading more, and will certainly follow you regularly.
xoxo
Audrey
