Home again

This past week, Ward and I spent most of our time worrying, waiting, and comforting while we were spending time with my mother, who was in the hospital. Things were not simple. Because of complications, she was in three different hospitals and ended up in a hospital 150 miles from where she started. I felt like we were playing chase with her as we followed her on her circuitous route to different hospitals. However, now she is back in her hometown hospital and stable, and we're back at home. Things are looking up.
 

Lucy couldn't wait for me to empty my suitcase when we got home.
