764

Where can you go in 764 miles............your favorite vacation spot, back home to see the family, spend a week with your best friend, all kinds of summer activities are just racing through your mind, the list is endless.................

What did I get for my 764 miles.................to date this is the amount of miles I have travelled just taking kids to the doctors and picking up perscriptons. As part of my taxes, I have to record all of our travel for medical needs and never in my wildest dreams did I ever think it would be that much and the year is just half over.

My 764 miles included tears and disappointment when I would go to the doctor because Maddie wasn't eating, concerns from the doctors about her recovery. This road less travelled also included joy when she had gained 10oz in a week, or we left the doctors office and she was allowed to discontinue another medicine. If the road had to be built based on the emotional rollar coaster we have been on I would either be sea sick or throwing my hands up as if I were about to drop off the first hill of the Gemini at Cedar Point.

By the end of the year I expect the total miles to be close to 2000. What will I have gotten for my 2000 miles.....................................Three beautiful children that were meant to be mine..........and it will be my job to tell about the amazing journey we have been on and didn't even go anywhere. For those of you disappointed about not being able to do this or that due to the economy you are missing the journey right in front of you.

And although I hope never to experience part of this journey ever again I would not trade my 764 miles for anything or anyplace you might think is better.
