So I have two reasons I need to return back to CHOMP- that is what they call it here...in other words the hospital. It actually stands for Community Hospital of Monterey Peninsula, for a hospital it very tranquil. I remember my first day out of bed (which believe me WAS soooo hard), JP wanted to show me the gardens area. He, myself and my Mother in Law (Liz)...went to the garden area. JP so patiently wheeled me around in the wheel chair....I remember that time so vividly...the wind and waterfalls......it was a short little trip. I was in so much pain but to breathe the fresh air and escape from the room for a couple moments was so refreshing!
Oh besides that there are so many memories there...mostly ones full of sadness. I have been working on building up enough courage to return back there, I'm just afraid it will end in tears, which I am sure it will. One thing I have to do is pick up Lola's footprint, they made a mold of it for me....ohhhhh I can't wait to see it. She had really long feet, they were cute though! (everything about her was cute- but that is the mom in me)
I also have to bring about 20 caps my grandmother made for the hospital in honor of Lola to donate..I am sure you have see the pictures of her with the cute little cap with the pink flower....she made those. Most of the ones she made for the hospital, have the same flowers, like a signature Lola look! It is really neat she did that, I can't wait to give them to the nursery. I have sent one of them to another angel mom who is expecting her baby next Monday....she says the cap is a blessing. I always think Lola would have wanted me to send it her way...
Oh but it is a journey JP and I will have to take together...one of these days it will just feel right! I for sure know that I will need him to be holding my hand, giving me that extra strength. I am not sure what I would do without him, he is my rock. Sometimes at night I will just look at him and think of Lola...they have so many similar features.....
I will let you know when I make it there...^i^
