glad i came

June 5, 2004

i have to admit that last night and this morning, i was very worried about my decision. i wondered if everyone would be thinking, 'why did valette come visit?' i thought i would be out of place, a third wheel, awkward and in the way.

all of that gave way to queasy-stomach-nervousness as i drove to the hospital. last time i was at providence hospital was when taylor was born, just over ten years ago. and i was 13.

i was worried i would lose my way, both to the parking lot, and also inside the hospital itself. i only got lost in its hallways once, and that was because she changed rooms.

we whipped out a suction cup gun that i brought and took turns target practicing.
we grabbed the window markers and prettified the room.
the day went great.
i am so glad i came.

Those impulse decisions are always the best, they're the ones we look back on with a smile- except where shopping is concerned of course.
