I can't wait to land.

Even though I don't know a soul down there.

Two weeks ago I couldn't even point to Cleveland on a map.

Now, 9500 Euclid Avenue is the one place I want to be.

I've had scans, injections and biopsies in far bigger cities.

But in the end the doctors have all shaken their heads.

Apart from the Cleveland Clinic.

Who told me not to get a one-way ticket.

However long it takes to get me home.

Thank you flight 625,

Lillian
