Hi guys
eli here...mum has been very humbled again today...she had a call from 'challenge' another non-government organisation that helps kids and their families with cancer...there is a groovy guy called micka who mum has had heaps of chats with while i have been in hospital...ANYWAYS...ages ago mum asked micka whether he could arrange a couple of rattle tins for her to take home with us so the community can support them with loose change...
mum thought challenge was ringing her about that, but the lady was just chit-chatting and asked mum what she was doing this weekend. Mum said dad had told her he was going to look after me so she could watch her beloved cats on tv hopefully win another premiership...she didnt watch much of the game last year coz she was looking after me - i came into the world about 15 hours before the big game started and she was a bit tired...she also said that she was ramping up birthday celebrations for me on sunday...
ANYHOO...
challenge said that they had 2 tickets to the GRAND FINAL! LIKE OHHHH MYYYYY GOOODNEEEESSSS! i saw mum take a big breath and she cried..then she swore a little bit, then she went numb, and then she was HUGELY happy.
I heard mum and dad talking very seriously, and dad decided to keep his word and stay home and look after me. He reckons we have all come too far for me to get sick again. He also reckons he wouldnt be able to enjoy the game coz he would be worried about me at home...so after more chatting (boy grown ups have lots of chats!)...mum decided to ask uncle dale to come to the game. We are all really happy coz uncle dale has been hugely supportive of us, mowed our lawns a couple of times and most importantly, has allowed aunty hayley to spend time with us when we really needed it (especially mum!).
So we are all looking forward to hearing how mum goes at the footy (knowing mum, she will have no voice coz she is not shy about barracking for her team in public!) and GOOOOO CATSSSSS!!!
a HUGE thanks goes to challenge for making mum feel like she has won the jackpot! I know that she will never forget saturday (and bore the rest of us with heaps of photos and stories!)...whichever way the game goes, just being there is a huge deal for mum. Me and dad will be fine...we will watch the game, eat chips, order pizza and have a few cans.
lots of love and kisses
eli
