We really did! We drove to MT and back this past week. My brother is quite ill and lives in MT. We live in Oregon. So my dear husband did all the driving and we made the trip.
God went before us with weather and road conditions. He was with us every step of the way and we actually had NO close calls! Amazing for a long trip like this. Just about 1,000 miles each way.
Our dear family stepped up and cared for our dogs for us. We stayed in motels and then 4 nights with my brother and his wife. His heart is failing him. They will go to Salt Lake City on Nov. 15th for another evaluation for either a heart transplant or another procedure to install "hard ware" that will assist his heart. There is the chance that they can do "nothing" more for him.
We had a wonderful visit. I rested up the week before the trip and slept quite a bit while there.
They have satellite TV so I could watch HGTV and just relax when my brother was resting.
We did do some sight seeing. One day we went to a museum and saw the Pulitzer Prize photos. It was a real eye opener. Another day we visited another museum and here is the link: bairfamilymuseum.org/ It was an incredible place to visit and we loved it! We didn't have to drive so I rested in the car each way.
I have no idea why the font changed:)
We arrived home about 4 PM today. It was totally worth the effort. I can crash later:) I wanted to see my brother so badly. I love his wife very much too.
It was an incredible trip.
If you are the praying type, please pray for them. They have some hard choices ahead.
Hope you had a great day today!
Blessings,
Elaine
