Ok, the question is: What have I never done, but always wanted to do? And who would I want there?
I have always wanted to be a part of a medical mission. I would love to go to Africa, Haiti, or some warm, distant place and help people that are seriously in need and seriously have nothing. You know the commercials with the children that are hungry, malnourished, no education, and no health care... And I don't mean stay in a hotel and visit during the day and help. I mean live with them for a month/summer or so, and be one of them; only helping them.
And maybe one day I will do that... always thought I would when I finished Nursing School... but then got married and started having children of my own... well, just not possible at this time...
Who would I want there? I know this might sound cheesy... but first choice is my husband. He makes me feel physically safe and maybe that's one of the reasons I have never tried or looked into a medical mission, something about it is scary to me. So if he were there, I would feel safe and not alone and I wouldn't worry about missing him. However, I don't think that would really be something he would enjoy... And quite possibly not an option.
Which means, the only other choice is my girlz. Each one of them has a strength and deep-rooted need to care that I think the four of us would find an experience like that amazing and wonderously rewarding. And maybe Lu and Tink have enough "strength" to make me feel safe and secure in my surroundings that we wouldn't need a "man"!!!
And I know that I need to post a question to someone... let me think...

Wow so good!!! I have always felt it would be amazing to do that. And Hell Yes I would protect you...Tink and I may be small in size but we could kick some ass if ya needed LOL!! At least I grew up in the stix so animals don't really scare me either!
Um...did you see those people....Not much ass to kick; HELLOOOO
Seriously, Bek. Good answer. I always knew you hads something like that in you.....
Bump
WOW. Great fucking answer seriously. And my comments are varied so I'm numbering them:
1. Know what ya mean about the hubby/safety factor. Dh was always my safety net. And even now, I can feel myself getting that way with Bri, just something about the constant companionship of a man. IDK.
2. Can you even imagine the four of us actually doing this? We would make the BEST TEAM ever. Seriously, because you're right about our strengths and each of our desires to care. It would be the experience OF A LIFETIME.
and
3. I am not even going to pretend to be annoyed that I was not listed as a possible source of protection, because, well DUH.
Nice post, Bex. Way to rock it out, hardcore.
It would be a very intreasting time for all of us. I know that we would all gain something from an experince like that.
