Back Home

After a long day, my mother is now back home. The van to take her home was 2 hours late and she wanted to get home to her own house. It felt like we were waiting at the airport gate for a plane that was delayed. She was all dressed with nowhere to go. When we got to her street, it was totally closed off by a repair truck. There had been a watermain break so no one was allowed down the block. Murphy's law. I found parking two blocks away. The van was smart and backed up the block from the opposite direction. I settled her in and went home. It was a long but good day for everyone. We are all back where we belong.
