The final entry!
Whenever anyone reminded me that the walk was going to come to an end I would reply with 'yeh, I know - I'll be right!', and try not to think about it. Well, the walk has come to it's end and now I'm forced to think about it!
Last Monday was the fantastic walk in to Canberra. My thoughts were here, there and everywhere - I'm not quite sure what I said in my speech, I didn't really want it all to be over! It was pretty tempting to just keep walking...
The past two weeks has been a cloudy, strange time with mixed emotions and many, many happy memories. When I was preparing for the walk, I was getting ready to have more bad times than good. I was wrong, and am pretty sure I can speak on behalf of Whooshka here when I say that we really did have the time of our lives, whilst raising awareness of ABI, meeting thousands of fantastic people and learning a lot about people's lives, their strength and determination to keep going through extremely difficult times.
We have had the most amazing time. I wish I could properly explain everything I have seen, heard, looked at and emotionally experienced. It's funny when you get sudden flashbacks or reminders of an occasion and all you can do is laugh. It usually happens when I'm in a shop by myself so I look like a weirdo, but it's worth it.
A huge thanks to everyne who kept up with the Walk With a Rose story and especially to those who put on comments. In particular Lindylou! A lot of people told me they looked forward to our blogs, but our secret was that we really looked forward to the comments! We would talk daily about who had put a comment up, what they had said and regularly check for new commens. Secret admirers were always a laugh - Big Steve's wife did finally show up, to.
Whooshka whooshka whooshka, what can I say. You are a truly amazing person. You were with me every step of the way and never once lost your determination, sense of humour or ability to clean my smelly socks. Without you I don't know where I'd be...lost somewhere, probably. Sorry the walk make you lose 48 kilos, I'll let you off the nuts and berries diet now.
Time to get back to life, work, uni and more importantly, time to put all these thoughts of my next project down on paper and made some decisions.
Thanks again to all our blog readers. Whooshka and Stretch are clocking off from Walk With a Rose, but wil be returning soon.
