The Drive

It was a perfect day for driving, although I slept for most of it.

Driving with my mom was pleasant and I love the fact that she understands what leaving someone you love behind even if it's just for 2 months. She told me about the time my dad went to Boston for 3 months with the intention of never coming back. He wanted to find a job a save money so they could get married. They had been dating for only a year.

I was honestly nervous about this trip – who would not? Traveling 7 hours with your mother can seam scary – but I’m glad she came with me. I completely love her.
