A Trip Home July 2024
There's something about going to see your folks, especially when all of your siblings are there, that feels like taking a trip home. You find yourself saying "I'm going home this weekend".....only you are home. I thought of how blessed I am that going to see my sisters and family is like coming home. A home away from home. I thought of that as I prepare for the drive back home, from my trip home for the weekend. We age. We mellow and become more refined in time. The forming of what is an ageless history of laughter and tears. The memories of celebrating our blessings and triumphs with family, and the comfort of knowing they're there for the pitfalls and failures. It's knowing they're there cheering you on throughout wins and losses even when you can't see them. You feel that quiet spirit of love and bond.
