I love road trips, but it's with mixed feelings that I leave my home for who knows how long. Thankfully, the house and cats are in good hands, but I'll miss them.
I realized this weekend, as I caught myself thinking, "Sue to the rescue," that I'm going into this adventure with my usual control-freak, fix-it mentality. It's a good thing I caught it now because my rational mind knows I cannot fix Mom's cancer. I cannot even fix her depression, which I suspect will come with surgery and disfigurement. Like turning my older teenagers back to God with, "They're you're kids, too; now watch over them..." I must do the same with my parents. I just pray that I may be an instrument of comfort and healing.
I decided not to wear make-up today...I don't want to look too good when I stop for gas at truck stops!
Sue
