Everyone has said that the drive to Denver will be the most beautiful part of the trip.
They weren't lying. There is definitely something to be said for seeing a place that you've always heard about for the very first time.
Today seems like a tougher day that what we've had before and I think it can be attributed to the altitude. My mom is having some trouble getting enough oxygen today. Hopefully, we'll have a rest day tomorrow before we head off to Kansas.
What is really ironic is that while I'm doing so many things for the first time on this trip, my mom recognizes that she is doing them for the last time. Can you even imagine owning that checklist?
She was talking about how she will never get in a bathing suit or swim again.
It is kind of surreal to think about and I struggle with understanding what that must be like.
So tonight will be one of those "Last Time" moments. She is going to say goodbye to Jack's son and I think I may bow out for this one. I'm going to be with "The Kids" for another couple of weeks but this is going to be it for my stepbrother. I'd like to give him his own space and time for this.
We'll see how it goes...
