Hell Of A Ride

On October 25th, 2013, Deidre put a request out on Facebook to friends and family regarding her and Neil's search for a motor home...

            "We are looking for used Cheap but good Class C motor home Max 30 ft for a Bucket list trip, Please put the word out please.  Thanks family and friends"

One day later, on October 26^th—before anyone else had time to react—she announced:

             "We are proud owner of a 2000 31' motor home, Now let the fun begin .Don't know where we are going but its going to be hell of a ride, as my dad said before he died..."

That's her. That's Deidre. When she decides she's doing something, she does it. After four years of researching doctors to help diagnose Neil's symptoms, tracking—and pinning—down specialists for answers, scouring the Internet for information and resources, and literally fighting her way through a maze of bewildering doctor-ese under an emotional cloud of confusion, anxiety, and fear, in less than 24 hours she cut right through the haze of ambiguity surrounding her and Neil's future together to the heart of the matter in her reply to a family member who expressed surprise at her announcement:

             "Don't scare me…Time to start living...…"

 And so their former son-in-law is off to vet the motor home, and should it pass inspection, bring it home for them. Neil's first request with regard to the trip; to ensure the motor home was well-stocked with Tomato juice…

            "Well we have started our plans. The motor home will be picked up this week. It will be put through the mill to make sure she is road worthy. Will have to give her a fitting name. Neil's first request is that I pack Heinz tomato juice. I told him we don't want a I Love Lucy trip where she picks up rocks ( boulders) and packs more than old motor home can handle. Had a good laugh."

And so, after they pack up their current home and hand it over to a Realtor to sell, they will move into their new home,

and set out on one hell of a ride.
