Who would have guessed that my son would be diagnosed at the age of 17 with a brain tumour. Not in a million years.....well here we are almost one year later, two surgeries, 6 weeks of radiation and chemotherapy and we are on our way to Wakarusa.
Another life experience I never would have guessed. What's with all the surprises!
This is going to be one hell of a road trip, our quirky extended family of nine - Me (Paula), Philip (ex husband), Graham (new husband), Julie (new wife), Jacob (17yr old), and his siblings Lucas, Quinton, Sophie and Chloe...oh and did I mention we are bringing three of Jacobs good friends, Justin, Greg and Daniel.
All twelve of us on our way to celebrate life, friendship and the love of family, no matter what and who that family consists of.
You will want to tune into the dynamics of this trip as we create memories that will last a life time.
A few things you should know,
- We are staying in RV's (not my typical gig)
- In the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas
- Driving down in an RV to Nashville
- Then off to Memphis, we will arrive at our destination RV in Wakarusa on June 1st
This trip has been provided to Jacob by the 'Childrens Wish Foundation' an amazing organization that grants wishes to children that are dealing with a life threatening illness, the team that have worked on making this happen are truly special people and we are grateful for the experience they are providing us.
Support this organization so they can continue to bring wishes to children - Thank you!
I look forward to posting pictures, videos, good days, bad days and all the days in between as we head off into the wild blue yonder....
