To Travel Well and To Be Well

I walked into Cheddar's where I was expecting to meet a couple of friends for dinner before my weekend departure to Denver.  I was surprised (and overtaken by emotion) to see a huge gathering of friends!  They were all there to cheer me on, encourage me, and send me off to get better in the hands of the best doctors around. 

You would think that was enough, but not for my dear friends.  I had asked Stacey if I could borrow her luggage for the trip.  Instead of borrowed luggage, everyone had chipped in and bought me brand new beautiful luggage of my very own!  Apparently this secret plan was in the works before I even asked to borrow the luggage! :)  Each suitcase was stuffed full of fun things for me to do when I returned from Denver well!  I can't even explain how it feels to have so many people supporting me with such belief and hope!
