We are currently at Heathrow, awaiting our connecting flight. The week leading up to the trip was full of time with Glenn, preparations for the new tenants in the house, too many goodbyes and deep, intense emotions. As we made our way to Logan Airport there were moments where I seriously doubted my ability to get myself and the girls on the plane to London. Tears all around when we said goodbye to Glenn, the final acknowledgement of the enormity of what we are about to undertake. And now we are in that strange netherworld of airport travel, neither here nor there, time suspended, emotions tucked away to allow us to face the intricacies of getting around. I hope we can all sleep some on the plane tonight....
Thanks for painting this netherworld picture so well. Hang in there. The journey is not the destination. Love, Mom.
ReplyDeleteMy heart is with you. Don't forget to take deep breaths, stretch your body, drink lots of water. Let go of expectations and tap into your childlike curiosity. This is an adventure of a lifetime, a trip you and your girls will always remember and I bet its not going to be what you thought! Trust and trust some more. You are surrounded by all the love of so many who adore you Chris! OXShannon
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of you as I traveled home today from Alaska! (Even THAT felt like another world.) I hope your travels are safe, easy, and reasonably comfortable. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteAs of now, I think you have either arrived in Sikkim or are in the jeep winding up the mountain passing monkeys on the side of the road and taking in the view. I made a sign of Gangtok vs. US times for my bulletin board. So proud of you for making that tough journey with so many unknowns. Sending love and support.
