My weekend plans
We're starting our weekend early this week. Thursday we're going here:

http://www.soniathouse.com/photo_gallery.asp

We stumbled onto this little gem of a hotel several years ago, and vowed that we'd stay there someday. So this is the right time. Rather than spend $100 for 2 nights via Priceline, as we typically do, we're shelling out over $500 this time, and it'll be great.

Why? Monday will be my wife's 50th birthday. We'll be celebrating from Thursday until Monday.

We BOTH deserve this. Last year, for my 50th birthday, all I wanted was to make love, catch a movie, and have a nice roast for dinner. When we returned from the movie, I received a call from my office (CPS) informing me that a client of mine had committed suicide. I had really loved this girl, and she killed herself because I took her kids. This started me on a spiral of depression that only got worse two months later when my wife was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Yes, our lives suck now, and it all started on my 50th birthday -- so I really want this weekend to be a good one.

Back to the hotel: We're mostly going to chill, and stroll around the French Quarter with no specific plans. If it rains, we'll be stranded in an awesome hotel. It's going to be great.

1. Have fun!
And I'm sorry to hear about the hard times. Live in the moment and you will have forever to cherish it.

You've got food. You've got music. Throw in making love and you'll
have what I (and most) would consider a holy trinity thing going on.

Find some peace, enjoy each other and life AND have an absolute blast!!

3. Wishing you a weekend to not remember.
To not remember the girl who killed herself, to not remember the evil claiming your wife's brain, to remember only how much you love each other.

I hope it's a wonderful weekend in which you are able to make the most of every moment, no matter what is happening or not happening in that space of time.

My heart is with you both. :hug:
