I checked my phone this morning and found that I had two new voicemails. The first was from a ranger at the park of perdition. His message was, "I understand you need some directions. Call us back if you still do."
Thanks. For. Nothing.
This started as an online journal in early 2006. At the time, it was a carefree spot for silly diatribes and the occasional photo. Since then, I got pregnant with mono.amniotic mono.chorionic twins, learned one of our daughters had a heart defect, spent 11 weeks in a hospital room and 29 more days with Eva in the NICU and PICU before losing her. We have two children who are alive and thriving and one who didn't make it. For me, this has become that place in between.
Hmmmm, got to give him a couple of points for trying?!
ReplyDeleteLate breaking comment here. It took me a few days to get all the way through your hiking adventure post and, may I say that this is just the perfect punchline?
ReplyDeleteEven if everything had gone smoothly you'd still have my respect for even trying a hike with both kids and no other adults. You're so brave!
And I'm glad you all made it home safely.
