It seems that when planning surprises, the biggest difficulty comes when arrangements do not work out as they did when planned in your head. It is the expectation/assumption meets reality. I knew what I wanted to do and the purpose. Take him away from everyday life: the stresses, the plans, the "normal" and have fun and connect. So that included a meal, a movie, a night away & Ian hanging out with someone or people who knows & loves. Some different options arose for timing, dates but as the weeks went by - everything was getting tighter...and people busier.
What happened: I got sick Sunday, Mark got sick Monday, plan was for Tuesday evening to Wednesday during the day.
Meal @ Millhouse...Movie "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" @ Jasper 8 Theatres...a night @ French Lick...hang out read, write, blog, tweet, internet surf, lounge, prep for future). How Lovely and blessed to do such a thing. Ian was so excited as reported by those caring for him that he went though his routine: " he rushed around and told me what cam next". :)
