Flying would have been cheaper, but now to get tickets would be ridiculously high. We were going to drive and that was part of the adventure and the vacation. The drive would have been 4 days and 3 nights there and the same, of course, on the return. I can only do 7 1/2 hours by myself.
I did have a thought and maybe this means my mourning period is soon ending. I thought there might actually be a reason to this. Maybe I would have gotten into a bad accident or maybe my son would have gotten sick. I know it sounds crazy, but maybe there is a reason I am not driving back there right now. I'm still VERY unhappy and disappointed but this reasoning does seem to make a bit of sense to me. I look back on my life and I see reasons for most everything. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to see the reasons immediately, but most often I have to look back.
Ups and downs and reasons for both I guess.
