I haven't slept yet, so it's still saturday as far as i'm concerned.

A week from today, I leave for north dakota, and I have made some peace with the trip. I have been up to this point paying lip service to the fact that this might be the last time I get to see my mother, but last night I really 'got it'. You know there is that sense of knowing something in your head, but it's just not the same as feeling it in your heart. I'm ready to go back and make my peace with my mother. And I'm sad, but I'm ok. It's the next right thing.
