Tomorrow, the kids and I and a very sweet friend who agreed to come along for the ride and help me out with driving are heading out of Portland for California. Our first stop will be San Francisco, where Zac will get to spend some time with his very best friend in the whole world. We'll get to see best friend's family and another good friend from church while we're there. And have an Indian dinner in my favorite Indian restaurant with my brother and sister-in-law. (Alas, they were busy for breakfast, so no crepes with ice cream at Crepevine! Maybe next time.)
Next we're going to central California, where my parents and grandmother live. My grandmother, who will have her 103rd birthday in less than two weeks, has decided that she is tired of living. She has had a full life and has outlived how long she wanted to. She is ready to die. I don't know if you can will yourself to finally die, but if you can, she's about to. I wanted to go and see her one last time, if things do go the way she wants them to. It will be a bittersweet visit, one that I'm not sure I'm fully prepared to make.
So, Happy Early Birthday, Grandma, and Godspeed.

Oh dear, I'm so sorry to read about your Grandma, but I do believe that you can. So, prayers, love and Godspeed.
And, travel safely!
Have a safe trip, Elizabeth. I'm very glad to hear you and the kids will be able to see your grandma. Enjoy the California sunshine!
It was great seeing you! A very pleasant surprise - and meeting Maria was fun too!
