Yes - my father is a first generation Hungarian American. My grandmother came over from Hungary when she was 21 yrs old in 1928. I still have family there I"ve never met. My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer and kidney disease in 2001. He is in the "thriver" stage for his cancer now and the kidney disease is under control for the present so this is a very special trip. He always wanted to go while my grandmother was alive but ya know how time passes. He's been trying to plan one for the past few yrs and finally everything came together this year so my older sister and I are going with him to help him fulfill his dream! (damn: I'm gonna start crying!)
and I Loved the new French Boyfriend.....what a great description: he gave me his name today btw: Allez Rouge
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
