I had an event the other night I wasn't sure about.
I have a client that hires me for all her grandkids. She's a big fan of mine, even sends me very goofy emails from time to time.
I was on hold for her months away. She called and asked what days I was open this last weekend? She said she was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. She had gone in for a physical, they did the normal blood work and found a mass.
oy.
She felt fine, didn't go to the doctor because she felt bad, just a physical. She walked out with other news.
She told her doctor she was having a party for her mother's 90th birthday in October. The doctor said, if you want a party, you should move it up.
It's a bit freaky but I go into focus mode in these situations. My job is laughter. I get very focused on that, the death part doesn't bother me.
And that's the really odd part, I'm very freaked out by mortality, it is on my mind an unhealthy amount. Faced with sickness and death, I go for it, with all my might.
The show was a huge success. Lots of people, lots of kids, it was great.
I was thinking, isn't this the way you should go out? With a party and a clown? We all say that but who would have the courage to actually have a party?
She's a good lady.
There was plenty of laughter, no tears. Children running around, good food, people drinking but the normal way. From the outside, just a nice family reunion.
They are a nice family. I tried refusing payment but they forced money on me. I guess that's the way it should be, I'm in no position to refuse.
In my line of work, you get into situations you never expected.
I really am blessed.
