( Click to show/hide )
Anyways, my best friend's mom was diagnosed with cancer (multiple myloma) about a year and half ago. She was doing great at first, then terrible, then a lot better, then in the past few months dwindling off... Every few months she has come to Houston for a second opinion, but she didn't want to move just for treatment because she has family back home. Anyways, about 2 and half weeks ago the doctors in LA said, "we cannot help you anymore, you need to go home and die" literally. And as a family they said f this, we're going to Houston (Tuesday, June 18th) they took a flight over and Thursday my friend said hey, I think we're going to stay here in Houston, the hospital and doctors said they can take the case, would you mind driving our car over? And I replied that I could take it right then (it was 10PM) and he said no, take your time.
And I made this thread: Driving from Los Angeles to TX tomorrow
He then told me to wait for him because he had a flight Saturday that wasn't refundable and this way he can pack the car and we can drive together if I want.
So Sunday we left and I knew I NEEDED to make this drive in 24 hours because he needed to spend as much time with his mom as possible. And I decided to stay longer to give him some comfort and a feeling of home that he's got a friend.
Unfortunately, his mom started taking a turn for the worse and I'm glad I stayed with them. And several days ago his mom passed away (RIP Shahin) so they flew back and had a small family burrial.
Anyways... I'm on the way back now. If anyone needs ANYTHING from this way, please give me a shout. I don't think I'll be doing a non-stop drive just because I have a few stops to make
From Houston gotta stop at Buccee's for some Jerky, then Austin to pick up the Fringe XVO tips, then a member in Austin for some car parts, then Midland, TX to go to a car museum, then to Phoenix to get the gf and her family some BBQ (I'd bring it from TX, but since I guess it's a bigger chain than expected, might as well get it more fresh,) then back to Los Angeles
So I'll be leaving tomorrow or the next day, and if anyone needs ANYTHING feel free to call or text me (31O) eight nine three-42O7
