I-35, southbound
After winter break. After the holidays. After the wisdom teeth.
We drove Sawyer back to college in Duluth. It was foggy all the way there and all the way back. For many miles, farther north, the trees were coated in frost and ice.
I love the day when he comes home. The anticipation of the visit - especially during the holidays - and the feeling of completeness when our little family is all back together under one roof.
Driving away from him I don’t love. It always brings back that feeling of leaving my heart behind that very first time when we got on the freeway headed south without him.
