Two Cool Nanas
Once upon there was a nana who hated airplanes. She hated them because they scared her. The idea of being up in the air with nothing beneath her terrified her. Even though she had a good friend who has been a flight attendant for thirty years and even though she knew it was irrational…she still was afraid of flying.
If there was one thing this nana hated more than flying, it was cancer. So when her beloved cousin, Martha, developed breast cancer there was no way this nana was going to let her fear of flying keep her from visiting. If Martha can face cancer and chemo, surely nana could get on an airplane.
I am happy to report that not only did I fly to Florida…I resisted my urge to take a cab home and came back on a plane as well. I still don’t like flying, but I can do it. However, I still HATE cancer!
We rented a condominium and spent some quality girl time together. Two of Martha’s three daughters were able to come and her granddaughter, Madi was there too. Tomorrow I’ll share some of the highlights but for now I’ll leave you with a picture of Martha and me showing off our “too cool” shades.
You are both “Beautiful Nana’s” when did Nana’s get so young and pretty???? I am so proud of you Teresa, and Martha you’re a rock, you have so many people that love you and are praying for you!! Glad you gals had a fun visit…..how special.
So loved spending that time with you and Martha. It was a very special time and I am looking forward to more of them. You really did think of everything… who was that wonderful photographer that captured yours and Martha’s true beauty??
Way to go! I hate flying and cancer too. You two are very cool nanas.
I’m glad you didn’t let your fear win. I love to fly, although it takes a day to get from west coast to east coast and all the delays and picking up luggage, waiting,…..but in the long run, the end result is pretty good when you get to visit someone special on the other end. then ya get to bring the memories home with ya! Thanks for sharing.
Amen to the special trip!
Pray for a cure for cancer so that one day no one will have to face that fear!
and we love you and missed you!
Martha is the one with the courage…I am in awe of her faith and strength. Getting on a plane is nothing when compared to chemo. God knows I am a wimp and loves me anyway….He is an awesome God!
I so hate flying too Teresa, but love you for what you do for Martha. What a special person you are.
love the pix! and love you both!
So wonderful of you to face your fears as visit Martha.She is a wonderful lady and I know she faces fears everyday.I HATE cancer as well.Fly safe.
I do know how you hate heights and it meant so much o me that you braved it. I have some beautiful memories from a special trip!
