Mixed emotions of a weary and joyful traveler.
Early November I made travel plans to take my youngest on
the “college tour.” I booked flight arrangements as cheaply and efficiently as
a miserly C. P A. for Boston, New York, Minneapolis, Austin and D. C. (We can
drive to San Francisco) Each stop, like
a book tour, arranged around my son's winter and spring holidays. Little did I
know in November that I would overlap my chemotherapy appointments.
I am sticking to the schedule. Having a next stop gives me a
light ahead. When I’m running, I make a goal on the horizon and
bargain with myself to keep going until that certain tree. Breathe, do the
work, and soon I find myself there. The body forgets the pain. The mind achieves the goal. The willow bends it branches behind me in inspiration.
The highlight of our journey, thus far, was seeing my sister
teaching her class at Harvard Business School on Valentine’s Day. It may not be your usual expectation of
romantic endearment. I was proud of her and joyful that my seventeen year old
could get a picture in his mind of that tree on the horizon. What we
demonstrate is more important than what we say. My greatest accomplishment is
my children.
