What It Costs

I’m on the tram, just having finished watching the newest Superman. My first movie theatre in Europe experience. My eyes filled with tears several times during the movie as I recognized the scenes of my home. Terminal Tower, Soldiers and Sailors monument, and a lovely moment in the Galleria. I gasped when I saw Progressive Field panned in a shot as well. I remember walking on the Guardians bridge in the movie, and my heart leapt when I saw a shot of the city taken from one of my favorite Cleveland script signs. I recognized a scene shot in the lobby of the Tower City mall as well, a beautiful place my family frequented at Christmas. Tonight I miss my homeland. Like a lot. This Saturday I missed a coworkers wedding, where I would have seen so many colleagues who helped shape and build me into who I am today. Next week, I’ll miss another friend’s wedding, even though I triple checked flights and calendars to see if I could make it at all. This is the price of moving across an ocean. N...

My 12th BMT birthday

I’m standing on a street corner at 4am. My nose is running and my fingers biting with the cold wind blowing through my skirt and thin jacket. A long bird is trilling a song, oblivious to the stillness around me.  It’s my lone chance for solace for the next week. I read the texts that came in from Heidi as I leave my apartment and the cold and emotions bring the tears on the driveway.    This week.. wow. So much I haven’t written on some very strong emotional events, good and bad.  But this year I’ve been crazy reflective on transplant. I know my brain blocks the traumas and hurt but I still remember snippets of it. I remember the early morning wake ups for vitals and I remember silently lying there thinking. Did I make the right choice? Would the 50/50 chance work? Would I live? And now, I am sitting in a different country, with hair and a life. And a heart overflowing with gratitude for this life and the amazing people in it.  Sunday, I hosted a par...

 Dear N + A, R+U, Wow, what a weekend. I came off a super crazy busy stressful week of work. First in Luxembourg with a groundbreaking for the new building (the primary reason I moved to Lux!), dinner with my boss that night, and then a 4AM taxi pick-up for a 6AM flight to Milan for our first ever client conference event in Europe. Intense doesn't begin to describe it. On my feet walking all day, and standing for hours on end- I was in Milan, but it wasn't "fun". I was going to skip the optional walking tour of Milan the last day, to simply sit for a bit, but as my colleagues had other urgent tasks, I got pressed into joining one of the tour groups. I swear I couldn't feel my feet at the end of the afternoon! Saturday I toured the Duomo, then caught the train to Verona. I had hoped to sleep, but a friendly old New England lady found the seat across from me and ensured a chatty trip. I walked out of the train station, weary in body and soul, summoning the energy to...
