trip

Five years ago today, I went through the Atlanta airport on my way to Seattle to see my father for the first time in years. I was anxious about seeing my dad and had no idea it was the last time I would ever see my husband.

Today, I am going through the Atlanta airport on my way to Seattle to see my father for the first time in months. I am ecstatic about seeing him and my new husband is joining me on this trip.

I worried I would always dread this week in the year.

But there’s nothing to dread.

It may have been the week that ended my old life.

But it was also the start of my new and better one.
