Freewheeling

The boys and I leave for Oklahoma tomorrow. We'll be on the road for close to three weeks. We'll spend a week with my folks, then drive to Colorado for my brother-in-law's wedding. This is Mike's brother, Buddy. After the wedding we'll spend about a week in New Mexico at the family cabin in the Pecos Mountains.

Lots of traveling, lots of people to see, lots of memories to make. I'm having quite a bit of anxiety about how we'll find my mom. I know it will be bad, very bad. I'm just so heartbroken and so torn in my hopes and prayers about her. I just want her back, but at the same time I just want her at peace. It's really hard to pray when your heart and mind are not in sync.

So, prayers are coveted: that we will be safe, that we will make beautiful memories, that Mom will find peace.

I'm sure I'll have a lot to blog about when we return. Until then. . .
