Distance
Sometimes all this distance between us and family is alright. Although we hate that our kiddos won’t see their grandparents as much, it does buffer us somewhat from all of the daily ins and outs of all our family members’ lives. The drive home can be a real bear of course and we can always sympathize folks making the drive down here, but the distance gives Kassy and I a chance to reconnect that we rarely get.
Tonight is one of those nights where I hate the distance between us and family. We had a family tragedy tonight, but being 11 hours away I feel so powerless. Please lift up a thought for my father’s family tonight as they deal with this. I know I will be.
