March fourth.....march forth.....
So fitting that today's date is March fourth.
Alex is "marching forth" into a whole new realm of his life.
He left 7:30 this morning to fly to New York/Guiding Eyes for the Blind. So so so so so exciting. He will be gone until the 28th of this month; when he comes home he will have a new set of eyes....they will be furry, four footed, long tailed, sloppy kisses, and full of love and devotion for my precious baby.
He started this process/paperwork back in the spring (2012); the "home visit" from GEB was August 20; his acceptance letter came in September; his particular class starts today.
I am so extremely happy for him. Whichever dog gets him will be such a lucky lucky dog....Alex--well, all of us--love love love dogs.
In spite of having to use Katie's pink suitcase (it was the only one big enough to fit everything); almost going through customs with a Swiss army knife, (I had given it to him years ago so he didn't want to abandon it. Katie agreed to babysit it out in the "public/general" seating area); snowy, icy, slippery roads; and the ungodly hour of 5 AM that I had to wake up, everything went off fine.
He is keeping a blog about his adventures while he is there. http://cane9.wordpress.com
He is such a good writer. By being able to read his blog, I feel like I'm able to participate in this momentous month.
It's been a long long day. I need to get to sleep. It's so exciting to see how this month is going to unfold for him.
