Yes, we had a wonderful time touring Holland, Germany, Switzerland and Austria, but just like the clouds hanging over the Eiger, there was the ever present cloud of my mother’s health. I was very concerned, but had to remind myself that my sisters and brother had all well in hand in Salt Lake. Thank you for covering my share of the responsibility.
I received an e-mail Friday morning that the news from the oncologist was not good. That is part of what prompted our decision to leave a day early. We’re glad we did. When we arrived in Dallas, Lowell checked the news on his phone and there was a report that all airports in Northern Europe would be closed beginning Saturday because of the volcanic ash cloud. Whew!
We arrived in Salt Lake and picked up my mom’s craving—a salmon dinner and a bowl of clam chowder from Market Street Grill. It was good to see her. She seemed like her old self and is facing this challenge in the way I expected—hoping and planning. That’s the way she’s always approached any obstacle or difficulty in her path—no dwelling on the past, but always looking forward.
