Saturday I got in the Durango to take Bri to the mall and it wouldn't start. I came into the kitchen, sat down and cried. Yes, I had a pity party for one - ME! Then a friend came over to jump it.
Sunday I got up and dressed pretty since it was Mother's Day and again went out to the Durango and NADA! I again came inside and cried - surprise another pity party!
Monday I knew it wouldn't start so I didn't even bother. Bri walked to school and I got a ride to work. I get to my office and within an hour of getting there I get a voicemail message from P/SL. This should not have been in my voicemail. P/SL is Presbyterian/St. Luke's Hospital - where Mike had his transplant.
I hit the play button and within five seconds click the off button and say out loud with my boss standing there, "I can't deal with this right now," and burst into tears. Betsy, our transplant coordinator, has a letter from the donor and she wanted to confirm the address. Later in the day when I was feeling stronger I called her back and confirmed the address and that yes, the donor knew about Mike.
I came home and replaced the battery in the Durango. That brought back some memories of starting a car project and not being able to stop even if it was dark until it was fixed. The good ol' days when life was a little less complicated if it was just as painful.
Tomorrow is another day to either run, walk or crawl.

LAST EMAIL
Hello all, this is going out to everyone in my email address book since it will be the last mass Holliday Update so take away from this email what you need to and ignore the rest. I'm sorry I've been out of touch for awhile - know it's nothing personal, just dealing w/ my issues now.
We have postponed the trip to Virginia until the first week in August. One of Bri's friends is out of town until then and we are only making one trip back east this year so we have to make the most of it. Once it gets closer I will email those people specifically and post on my facebook. There will be a big celebration in Virginia for everyone who wants to attend. We will be scattering ashes at Hayfield High where Mike played football.
Some of you know (and some this will be a shock) but I sold my baby. Bri and I have decided to downsize until she gets her license and then she wants a Jeep Wrangler. Since we don't need two cars the Mazda went away. Now if only I could convince her to downsize and let Dakota go too!
I am having a MAJOR MUSIC SALE this weekend. Part of our downsizing is selling all of the music equipment. If you are local and want to come by it is Saturday from 12 - 4 (or call if you want something.)
Bri got her first concussion (actually 2) this past week. She was doing drills and tripped and the girl behind her fell on her head and then she was in a game and got face planted by a goal kick. She is ok but she was loopy for a little while.
You can continue to follow the saga of the Holliday Girls on Facebook or blog - www.hollidayfamilyco.blogspot.com. We think of you all as family so please feel free to continue to email, call, snail mail, text or FB. Thank you for all the love and support over the last several years. I can never repay your prayers and support but know if you need anything at all I'm a phone call away.
