Finally Home

From Minnesota

Our cat, Sapphire, kept staring at us like she couldn't believe we were back!

Last night, Sophie and I finally made it home from our road trip to visit my ill sister in Minnesota. We had a really wonderful time!!! We had an extremely stressful time, too.

The whole thing was… bittersweet. We were both so glad to visit my sister for so long after so many years… and we were both pretty heartbroken to learn that things were… even worse than we realized.

There's a lot that happened that was very painful—a lot that happened that I'm not comfortable getting into online because it's not all my story to tell. There's a lot that happened that was… disappointing. Our last five days in Minnesota did not go according to the rough plan, and we would have done them very differently if we'd been given the chance to know what all was really going on.
