The Return

Saying goodbye to our loving neighbours Jorge, Veli, little brave Matthew and precious Liz was very difficult and sad too. It was a very stressing morning and I was also worried about the long trip, because I had vomited the night before and as you may guess, I'm not feeling well at all.  Anyway, we will miss you Mexico - Bulgarian friends. Sharing two months and a half so many difficult times, while feeling you are supported by someone very close was priceless.

The flight from Frankfurt to Paris was very short. I wore a mask and we were taken in a kind of special shuttle with the wheelchair to station x where we met someone else who took us with another wheelchair up and down some elevators and all the way to other station and then we waited almost an hour for another shuttle............ The French airport was a total mess.  We were taken to where we needed to go maybe two hours after we arrived.  When we finally took the plane to Chile, it was wonderful... The flight was very long, but I managed to sleep five hours, while Nachita helped me with everything as usual.  It was a very long fourteen hour flight where we felt how each second passed by VERY SLOWLY.  

When we arrived, we were told we had to wait until all the passengers got off the plane, because people in wheelchairs had to be the last ones... 

We couldn't believe we were in Chile... It was a dream come true.  A lady took me in the wheelchair and we were so emotional for listening to the Chilean accent... 

Anyway, we were taken down the aisle to customs and when we just turned out of the plane there was my mom, Nicole and Gabriel!!!!!!!!!! It was so impressing!!!!! We hugged each other and bursted out crying!!!!!!!!!!! They were accompanied by some detectives and managed to get almost in the plane!!!!!! (this is not done in Chile).  I saw Gabriel and I told him how big he was while he replied that he ate everything :o) He also gave me back a small penguin toy that I specially bought for him (he thought it was mine and that it was very attached to me).  I had asked him to take very good care of Bobby (that's his name)... Well, he gave it back to me and said he had taken very good care... Awwwwwwwwwwwwww...

Then they had to go out and we proceeded to customs.  Nachita picked up our bagagge and when we went out.... I was met by my two sisters who kneeled down to the wheelchairs's level and cried so much (mee too) while saying that they loved me so much...... Greeting Nachita's sisters (Gabriel's half sisters) was also very emotional and giving a big hug to her mom  and dad too...... There was also Kevin (Frank and Simone's son) and Juanito (my sister Ilona's boyfriend plus my beautiful nephew Florencia.............. 

And there it was....... having to say goodbye to Nachita.  OMG... I felt too many strong emotions in a short time... 

I must say that there's, absolutely, no place like home.  It is wonderful to be here..... I had to share this with you, my friends. 

I hope you're doing fine and that everything's alright with you.

A new stage of this treatment begins, but it'll be close to my loved ones, at home, in my language...... Oh, how good that feels...

Loves,

K
