I don't normally post feeling of stuff here, but today, Traveling Pants has left my hands today to visit some friends. As I package up the pants, I take extra care to get MORE photo's "just in case" they dont make it back. The feelings that incase me as i walk up to to Fed Ex knowing they will be leaving in pergatory until they reach their next destination is almost painful yet joyful at the same time.
I look in the box, double checking its contents, praying it does not get lost in the mail, or ends up in a hurricane..As the clerk at the desk ask me what the value is of the package containing the pants; I swell up with a reply of "they are pricelss...., the clerk smiles at me, and sais ok, if only he knew. I walk out leaving the box in there hands without bawling, but inside my gut hurts.
Each time they leave for travel, it gets harder as the pants fill with love from young women that was given a hand they have no control over how their lives will be. A cure...education....
My challenge to all the scientis out there... find that cure, when we have found one for advanced breast cancer, we have found the cure, why cant we at least find a way to make there lives MUCH longer than the older counterpart drugs? Why is the pharmacutical business so greedy to charge phenominal fee's for those that want to be around for their families. Life....priceless....
