Tell the ones that need to know- we are headed north...
Tomorrow I'm leaving Sheffield once again. I'm headed to Syracuse, New York, by way of Cincinnati, Ohio. To say that I'm terrified barely begins to cover the way I'm feeling right now. I'm scared, I'm excited, I'm sad.
Today I can't think about anything about how lucky and loved I am and how very important that is and how wonderfully it's been expressed to me over and over. My uncle spent the day looking for car parts with me. My grandmother took me to lunch yesterday, her parting words, "I'm mighty proud of you." My sisters and brother and friends have been checking on me daily, wishing me well on my journey, expressing sadness that I'm leaving combined with excitement for my new adventures. My parents... I don't have the words to describe how grateful I am to them. They have fed me and packed me up and gone out of their way to make me feel comfortable and secure and to wish me luck and let me know how proud and confident they are in me as well as to instill in me the knowledge that I always always always have a home here.
It is always hard leaving the Blvd. Tonight the sunset was just as pretty as you could ever ask for, stretching pink across the sky. Now the stars are out and they are anything but shy. You can't help but spot Venus and Orion's Belt and the Big Dipper. They demand to be seen as much as any modern advertisement but they are infinitely more welcome.
Anyway, I'm really thankful for all of the things that I have and the people that I love. Y'all are something special.
