We started the day traveling to Cooper River Park to participate in the Congenital Heart walk. We honor our friend's daughter who was born with a heart problem that was corrected by surgery two days after she was born. She had had two or three surgeries since then but the prognosis is good. she is fourteen and gorgeous, Pictures tomorrow I promise.

Then we drove to the train station to go to NYC to see my mom. The trip up contained loads of high schoolers and college students going to the Bambozzle festiva, 85 bands including Foo Fighters, Blink 182 and Jon Bon Jovi! They were fine, loud and silly but fun. . The screaming toddler whose parents ignored was harder to take.

Mom is still pretty weak and in a lot of pain. She is obsessed with resting but to me she seems weaker each time we see her. Dh and I did a lot of things for her around the house but we really would like her to live closer. It is hard and expenseive traveling to the city . Between gas, tolls, train tickets, and parking, it adds up quickly.

We made it home safely so I will say good night and hope that your day was good!!
