Download Driving Miss Norma: One Family's Journey Saying "Yes" to Living AudioBook Free
When Neglect Norma was diagnosed with uterine tumors, she was suggested to undergo surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. But rather than confining herself to a hospital foundation for what could be her previous stay, Norma - recently widowed after practically seven generations of marriage - increased to her full height of five toes and informed her doctor, "I'm 90 years old. I'm hitting the street." Packing what she needed, Norma took off on an memorable cross-country quest with three professional nomads - her retired son, Tim; his partner, Ramie; and their standard poodle, Ringo - in a 36-foot RV. Generating Neglect Norma is the charming, infectiously joyous chronicle with their experiences on the highway - a transformative quest of living life on your own terms that shows us that it is never too overdue to start an adventure, inspire hope, or turn into a trailblazer. As this once timid female says yes to living in the facial skin of loss of life, she tries regional foods for the very first time, zip-lines by way of a former stranger's yard, and grows to for the clouds in a hot air balloon. With each passing mile (and one educational visit to a cannabis dispensary), Neglect Norma's health improves, and interactions that had once been taboo start to unfold. Norma, Tim, and Ramie bond in ways that they had never done before, and their explanations of home, family, and companionship expand. Stop by stop, status by status, they meet many folks from all walks of life - strangers who become fast friends and pleasant them with kindness and wide open hearts. Infused with this irrepressible nonagenarian's knowledge, courage, and nice spirit, Generating Neglect Norma reminds us that life is beautiful and important and this family, fun, and self-discovery can occur at any get older.
