Something about being on the road, getting further from home gave me wildly dynamic emotional state. Here's about how it went:
I'm very glad you got this opportunity. You will talk about it your whole life and refer back to it many times.
ReplyDeleteBut I am so glad you're home. Safe. Healthy. Your stats are quite interesting but your emotional roller coaster makes me cry. I get better when I remember the intense joy that is coming soon.
