Going away and coming back again

A lot of time with three fun boys and talking with their mom and dad. We worry about our families. We wish we had more time together. We wonder about what the next steps will be.

I tried to persuade the oldest boy to come back to Chicago with me. He thought I should move there.

I took my time driving home. I stopped for thrift stores or nice barns. I watched vultures circling and tried not to end up in the ditch. Farmers were working in the fields getting them ready for crops.

My heart went pitterpatter when the Chicago skyline came into view. It really is beautiful. Maybe it's not time to leave yet.
