Donuts & Coffee

Day One:
My 85 year old father and I hit the road this morning on a thirteen day road trip (our first). We headed south to our families home in Melbourne Beach, FL (USA).

My mother moved to her heavenly residence a year ago on February 20. The trip will include removing her belongings (while keeping the heart-tuggers) and will provide closure a year later.

All kinds of emotions were swirling around as we left ...and I presume will continue as we navigate through these two weeks.

It didn't take long for a wonderful smile moment to occur. When my father, in full grin, bought us a road snack.

We're hunkered down in Florence, SC for tonight, had some donuts and coffee, and will continue the journey early tomorrow.

Pray on...
