Default Re: Just a speech?

Ok, here we go about Mom. Dude, you obviously have no clue what I went thru nor the circumstances. If in less than a month your life gets thrown into turmoil, how would you have time to coordinate the sale? Here is a rundown AGAIN for those who missed it.

Mom gets news the cancer has spread to her entire body Dec 13, 2005. Treatment goes from monthly to weekly. If you know how chemo reacts with the body,you know that the day of treatment, there is alot of energy from the steriods. A day or so later, you cant even get up out of bed without help. So, there goes at least 2 days of my week with that. Nevermind the fact that her treatment took at least 4 hours and was downtown in the city. Sometimes we couldnt get her treatment that day depending on her cell count. We would have to get blood instead, then come back in a few days.

Now, tell me. How can I plan on being open and run the salon when each day would present a different issue? I tried it for a few weeks and we were closed at random times. NOT fair to my clients. Selling the business was just not a priority when I didnt want to spend the time dealing with potential buyers when all I wanted to do was focus on my mother. It was much easier to sell off the equipment when I felt like it.

If I wasnt successful, I would NOT have been able to quit last minute, not work for a year, return EVERY PENNY to clients (even ones that had just one session left) to a total of 2743 people. So, try to diminish what I did for my Mother all you want, but I would not change it for the world. I was there watching her die. WHen you watch the one you love go thru that and know it is the end, then come to me and talk about your choices.
