(Me, Natalie, Malia and Spike at the Royal Hawaiian Mother's Day Brunch)Hi again! It's been three days since our last blog. So much has happened in my little life. It was Mother's Day this weekend and I hope you all were thankful for your moms who have nutured you through out your life. My mother's day weekend was just over the top! Malia, Natalie and I had brunch at the newly renovated Royal Hawaiian hotel. There was so much yummy food and, to make it even better, we got to spend the night there! This was Malia and Spike's first mother's day.
On Saturday, Jan and I participated in the Banana Man Chase, 5K Run around Magic Island to benefit the MDA. The day was beautiful as ever and the turn out was just fantastic. There were all sorts of runners chasing the bananas around the park. Jan pushed me in my big wheel, wheel chair and sadly we were not fast enough to catch a banana!
On the reality side of life, Jan and I decided and agreed that counseling would be beneficial for both of us as we go through this journey of this disease, called ALS. We had our first session this weekend bringing up many sensitive issues that were acknowledged and gained understanding of these issues invovled. I was glad and relieved at the same time that we were able to express to each other how we felt about this disease within our relationship. So, counseling is always a good thing to help you understand the issues that you face.
We had a long, fun and intense weekend and we made it through to another new week. So, have a great, beautiful week. Be positive, smile and take in the beauty of your world!
Good night Bella, Good night Spike, Nana loves you!
Aloha,
Vi
