Brighter Day

Today is my 56th birthday.

If you had asked me a week ago how I’d be spending it, there is zero chance that my answer would have been correct.

Instead of preparing to launch a pre-sale campaign for my 5th book, A Good Boys Journey, as we had planned, I will be sitting in a patient room at Penn State Health in Hershey, Pennsylvania, waiting for my wife to be taken for a kidney biopsy that was originally scheduled for yesterday.

Sandy and I have been workamping at the Hersheypark Camping Resort since the middle of May.

One of the perks of our employment is free entry into Hersheypark.  I figured at some point this summer; I would hop on one of the 16 roller coasters at the park.  However, never in a million years did I expect the roller coaster ride that we’ve been on since July 9th.

That was the day Sandy was admitted to Penn State Health in Hershey.

37 Days

During our first week, at our first Left-Right-Center game, we met a couple that we just knew we had a connection with.  Isn’t it amazing how sometimes you just feel a vibe with people.  You just meet them, yet you feel like you have known them for your entire lifetime.  Well, that was Jason and Sara Brelsfoard.  They sat next to us during the game and we immediately connected.  Jason had us laughing from the time he said hello to the time he said good-bye to us that night.  Sara may have been slightly embarrassed on occasion, but she seemed to take everything in stride.

They own what Jason calls a “small” 800-acre farm in central Illinois.  Sara is also a massage therapist.  Jason was immediately intrigued by our full-time RV lifestyle.  He loves what he does, but recognizes that life is short.  He wants to be able to live and enjoy life, not just work until he dies.

We made sure that Jason and Sara made it to trivia the next night and began sitting with them at each campground function that we were at together.  We’d stop by their site and chat and they would do the same.  They came to listen to me speak and bought a couple of my books.  They really did feel like family.
