The semi-unspoken journey

Image
11 months into a journey I genuinely don't talk about much to outsiders, I just put my head down and drive forward.  No one truly knows this story and I'm sure a few jaws will drop and a few will say I had no idea, but let me back up on June 15th, 2022 a day I thought would never happen...Happened.   Ok, let me set the scene.  Wink and I were on vacation in our favorite city New Orleans with our friends Masshole Meemaw and Peepaw.  That morning we had planned on going to the Death Museum (rather fascinating actually) and walked to a few other sites we wanted to take in as our week in New Orleans was quickly coming to a close.  As we wandered the city on a very humid day I was laughing and just taking in the sites and smells praying that I could just hold on to the memories of this trip for the rest of my life (memories are a weakness of mine and that's connected to another journey for another day).  As we entered Jackson Square I noticed Peepaw pick up his phone like he was

I didn't want the taxi driver to know our house would be empty all evening, I explained to him that my husband would be out momentarily as he was just bidding goodnight to my mother.
