Leaving For Baltimore

by Shane Holden – February 5, 2010

We’re leaving tomorrow morning sometime for John Hopkins in Baltimore.  The trip is only 650 miles, but we’re going to cut the driving in half over two days to hopefully make it easier on mom.  Right now, it looks like the weather couldn’t be much worse for this trip and needing to be there without a doubt.  They are calling for winter storm warnings up there, and quite a bit of snow.

It’s going to be neat to be in a few states that I’ve never been, but honestly, at this point I have no interest at all in seeing anything that any of them have to offer along the way.  I’ve been talking for the past couple of years about checking out Washington D.C., and even though we’re going to be right there at it, I am just not in the right frame of mind or mood to even want to go there.  The only place I want to see at this point is John Hopkins Hospital, and getting mom well.  My camera will be with me in case I change my mind.  I don’t expect to, but the snow may persuade me otherwise.

    My friend, I haven’t been online for a while, because of a few personal things going on. It just shows how quickly things can happen while we’re not paying attention. I went back and read your posts about your mother.
    I feel I’ve gotten to know your family, if just a little bit, through your blog, and my heart goes out to you all. Please know that my thoughts are with you as you seek the best treatment for your mother. I know how scary this kind of thing can be when it happens to our own beloved family members.
    You wrote so movingly and beautifully about your feelings, showing a strength I knew was there, but was confirmed by your honesty. Your family is lucky to have you, Shane.
    All my best wishes for your trip,
    Muse
