Travel notes....


We drove to Cincinnati this past weekend. We went primarily to see David's dad and his wife. But we ended up attending a funeral for his dad's best friend. It was very sad to see how many people will miss this old guy, but heart warming to see how much they all loved him, including my father-in-law. We didn't get much sleep, or even eat properly, and we are both feeling it now that we are home, but we accomplished something that many people never do.......
We made an old man very proud and happy to have a son that would travel for 8 hours to be with his dad at a very important time.
It is awful to think how much time is wasted.......
It is truly awful to see people living in denial of the truth, and
seeing how it affects all of those around them.
It is very hard to explain what I mean, because the examples of this, in my life, are......... complicated.
But suffice to say, when people live their lives based on falsehoods, or imaginary truths, people suffer.
I am so grateful for the time that I have had to see what the truth is.......
Life is good.
Family is so important.
Friends are right up there too.
Politics, religion, money, prestige, notoriety, position, power.............all fleeting.
