my special walk

[Guest guest]

Hello all!

I haven't posted in so long but have been following. Life has

been downright crazy since the convention. Every weekend filled w/

something (I'm sure too many of you can relate).

So, I was lying in bed last night trying to find a good time to

do this walk for MAGIC. October here in Chicago can be iffy. So I

wanted to do it as early as possible in the month. Anyway, long

story short, I've decided to do my walk on Saturday, October 2. It

will be the 2nd anniversary of grandmother's passing. She died at

home from a long battle w/ an illness. Although it wasn't a " shock "

it was quite devastating to our family b/c we were/are all very

close. So, my walk is going to be from my house to my grandpa's

house ( where she died) and back (a total of 6 miles I believe). It

will give me time to reflect and remember. My mom is joining me so

we can reminisce together. Plus, I know my grandma would've joined

us. She adored Christian and, unfortunately, only knew him the

first 11 months of his life. But he was special to her b/c she had

lost a child who was Christian's size back in the 50's and my

grandparents thought his birth and survival at 2 lbs. was a miracle.

Anyway, I know that this really doesn't have much to do with the

walk itself. But I just wanted to share w/ you guys how I've

decided to make this walk even more meaningful.

Now, hopefully I can make it there and back!!!! LOL!!! Well,

I've rambled long enough. Sorry if you found this boring I was just

really excited. Hope all is well with everyone.
