HOME

Arrived home at 11:30 after an easy ride, a few sprinkles, but actually a nice cool day. Hwy 20 from Charlottesville to Fredericksburg was magic. It was always Pauline's favorite drive in Virginia. As I pulled into my driveway an overwhelming feeling overtook me that Pauline was going to run out and hug me, and tell me how proud she was of what I had achieved. Instead there was only the greeting of a silent house and the reality that I said goodbye forever so long ago. And I know that she would have expected me to go on with life with energy and joy.

I will write more tomorrow.

So glad you made it home safely, and sorry you had to come home to an empty house. But if we were there, we could certainly run out and give you a big hug and tell you how proud WE are of you! What an amazing journey, thanks for sharing it with us though this blog!
