Full time van life! I am scared to death leaving my grown kids and missing out on our time together. I remember saying I’d be on the road to somewhere else when my parents passed on and here, I sit. I believe in answering the second portion requires me being honest with myself.
My dad had gone to the hospital for a minor surgery and his life ended in hospice, never coming home afterwards. My mom had a doctor’s appointment on a Wednesday received a clean bill of health and that Friday she passed away shocking the entire family.
I imagine the number of excuses I have used time and time again excluded the full truth. I love my kids; they are my world aside of Christ an I would miss them dearly but deep down I am petrified of the negative possibilities and receiving that next call, so I air on the side of caution and stick close to them as much as I’m able
The silver lining: I would regret forfeiting the time with them over the paved roads I might have traveled so it’s a win in my book.
