This is about a mother watching her daughter say goodbye for now to her grandson...
The ride starts out so exciting and full of laughter...she makes jokes and let's the little things slide because she knows what's to come. He asks question after question his voice getting higher and higher with each passing mile. They count down the miles, the minuets, the seconds trying everything they can to not think about tomorrow. She hides her watery eyes behind dark sunglasses and covers up her sobs with coughs. He asks again,"mommm how much longer till we're there?" And her heart breaks a little more each time. They finally arrive in a hubbub of excited chatter and hugs...they avoid saying goodbye. She wraps her arms around him and kisses his cheeks. He holds on for dear life and wishes she didn't have to leave. They say their goodbyes making plans for Christmas. As she gets into the car she cannot help but let all her pain out. Her quiet sobs fill the air like thick fog and my heart breaks for her, my daughter, my life. I wish she never had to say goodbye.
