WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING, EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE
The norm was 90 years old when her husband Leo, with whom they lived in perfect harmony for 67 years, was going to die. While she was visiting him in hospice, suddenly fall over her own body. The survey revealed that inside is hiding a cancer. Two days after the death of her husband of Norma, accompanied by his son and daughter were sitting in the doctor's office, which explained her treatment options, a common set of: surgery, then radiation or chemotherapy, or both. When finished, he asked how she was going to do.
There are women of small stature, but with an unusually strong character. Norm looked the doctor straight in the eye and said, "I'm ninety years. I'm going to travel". Confused, the doctor turned to relatives, they had discussed possible adverse outcome, and when Norm said that the treatment would not have supported such a decision. But if not treated, then what: to go to the hospice where she died Leo, and wait for the end? No way.
Home she didn't want to go back — without a husband it's empty and lonely. Why Norma chose another option: the road! Her pain was not tortured, the mind has not lost the sharpness, and the adventure she had always loved. So they all together explained to the doctor that they are going to take in a motorhome and travel aimlessly.
The doctor, hearing this, suddenly supported them. First, his age was just not survive the surgery. And even if they survive, then it waits for hospital treatment with very unpleasant side effects... And he wished Normal happy way, adding that in her place would have done the same.
It took six months. The norm in the way, and she got better! The pain is still there, and the rest of the symptoms somehow themselves have subsided. Together with his son and daughter-in-law she visited six national parks, went to Disneyland, climbed in the Rocky mountains, and recently swept Florida in a hot air balloon.
The son started for the Norm Facebook page dedicated to her journey, and she was surprisingly popular. People send her greetings from all corners of the globe give advice on what other places are worth a visit, and ask different questions.
— Norma, how to cope with the loss of a loved one?
To tell a story, it helps a lot.
— How not to lose heart?
— Just to live, day after day, and find your own little joy. published

Relationship is like breathing, it is impossible to think about every time you inhale and exhale
Each of us has a "control point" of happiness
