It seems to me in your latest posts that this move has made positive changes to your lives. It’s good to hear that! Never mind the box of books you left behind. No material things are more valuable than the life you two are enjoying now. :)) Clay@<a href="http://www.worldpackagingco.com/Carton-Sealing-Tape_c_18.html" rel="nofollow">World Packaging Inc.</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716972421427853615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115499540152121728.post-79393350122802524192013-09-05T16:21:11.215-04:002013-09-05T16:21:11.215-04:00I hope this moving experience didn't ruin your...I hope this moving experience didn't ruin your optimism for the future at all and that you came back safe, the same with all your stuff. Shipping more or less 10 boxes of belongings was not a piece of cake. A lot of things can happen during transit. The more cargo you have, the more you'd worry for damages.Renea Luong@Legacyhttp://legacytsi.com/mobile/medical.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115499540152121728.post-4347566301651207602013-08-18T15:51:36.163-04:002013-08-18T15:51:36.163-04:00James - hello right back at you and thank you for ...James - hello right back at you and thank you for letting us share your journey - the good, the bad and the even worse, right on to the better and best to come! Here's hoping your beloved coast embraces you with warm and gentle breezes, UV weak sunshine and fresh salt air to heal you up 'real good'.<br /><br />Adena - packing is a bittersweet chore marking the end of what seemed an impossible journey, but more importantly, the beginning of an exciting new adventure. Some would think it strange but I was sad much of the time I was packing too. I know in part, it was because of the friends I was leaving behind, many still living with uncertainty about the future. In part, it was also about the future and what it would bring for Carman's health. We do live in a cocoon while in the program and then we must take the new lungs home and live! Alas, we cannot tell what the future will bring until it is here, so we place one foot in front of the other; we square our shoulders (you know the drill - lift them up, pull them back and push them down) we lift our chin up and we start to move...before we know it, we've arrived at a new destination to face its challenges (without which we would not grow) and seize new opportunities (without which our dreams would wither). We look forward to bi-coastal visits during which we can share our post-transplant tales of growth, health, happiness and outrageously big dreams coming true!<br /><br />love, love, love and hugsPjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393555684207764434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115499540152121728.post-45397211040579696452013-08-15T11:26:52.214-04:002013-08-15T11:26:52.214-04:00Hi Adena,

Do you think you could send me an email when you get this? Thanks so much.<br /><br />All the best to you and James,<br /><br />Cameron<br />cameronvsj@gmail. comCameron VSJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16821349301593446566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115499540152121728.post-87704854212906868752013-08-14T21:10:19.572-04:002013-08-14T21:10:19.572-04:00I have been incredibly moved by your blog and cont...I have been incredibly moved by your blog and continue to wish you and James all the best. I hope Adena, that you will consider writing for a career. You have an amazing gift. My youngest son moved to Victoria from the Toronto area 12 years ago so I know you are returning to paradise. Enjoy your life together. You deserve the best to reward your amazing courage and commitment.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115499540152121728.post-73958391700558988422013-08-14T00:31:10.676-04:002013-08-14T00:31:10.676-04:00Adena, what an exciting and encouraging post to th...Adena, what an exciting and encouraging post to those of us pre-transplant. Is James still at TGH or SMH? I know there is some poor gentleman here on 6 Bond vomiting and dry heaving multiple times daily and my heart just breaks for him.<br /><br />There is a new Cyster here on the floor named Karen also. She is from Halifax and on transplant list; and her husband and daughter have just arrived. Perhaps you could find out through the nursing station if they could use any of the household items you no longer need to set up where ever they are staying? Just a thought. Paying it forward. I am so thankful we live an hour east of Toronto!<br /><br />Wishing you both a smooth move back home and a healthy life of love ahead. You both have shown my husband and I that you can get through ANYTHING as a team. God bless you both!<br /><br />Karen Martin<br />Karen Martinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115499540152121728.post-81323638836931415532013-08-13T15:54:37.550-04:002013-08-13T15:54:37.550-04:00i am so incredibly thrilled to have followed part ...i am so incredibly thrilled to have followed part of your journey thanks to my friends Keith and Sarah...wishing you the best of health James, and many loving years together...you are an inspiration...<br />Deb JacksonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15709115607176746951noreply@blogger.com
