Today is my birthday. It’s also a day we have anticipated for months – it’s a travel day. Fraught with tension, wondering if anything has been forgotten or left undone. We think too hard.

We think hard about the days yet experienced, only a glimpse of a direction in our minds. Our plans fall on a wing and a prayer. Anticipation a cross between fear and excitement.

Anticipation of the unknown. But, I can look in his eyes and know without a doubt that no matter our destination, it will be together, and together, we will anticipate the next long road to the next small town. Together.
