The flights are set.
The bags are packed.
The excitement is in the air.
Thanksgiving.
The kids and grandkids are on their way to visit.
Plans.
Stories.
Memories.
But really why.
What causes so many at this time of year to uproot and travel across the country.
It seems to me it is the need for a knowing that they have a history.
They are part of an unfolding story.
That it is not merely day in day out. Time in and time out.
But rather it is an understanding that they matter to someone who shows unconditionally that there is a destination to reconnect with a larger story of hope and caring and a shared experience
Cherish these moments.
They are timeless.
They are ageless.
The ageless experiment.
