On the Road Together

It was always in our plans to travel together someday. We talked of sailing trips and hiking trips and camping trips and road trips, but like so many people, that was all we were doing—talking about trips. Then, like too many other families, cancer invaded our peaceful life. Suddenly, all the things we were taking for granted became uncertain.  All the things we had worked so hard for and valued were in danger of becoming worthless.  All the trips we had talked of taking together were in jeopardy.  The whole dream was based on us experiencing travel to the places we dreamed of—together.  And now it seemed we may have missed our opportunity.

John F. Kennedy once said “The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word ‘crisis.’  One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity.  In a crisis, be aware of the danger–but recognize the opportunity.”   We weren’t familiar with this quote when we faced our crisis, but somehow Myrian recognized the opportunity. “You know all those things we said we were going to do someday?” she asked me. “Well, today is someday!”  And the clouds of doubt parted and all the things we had been worrying about scattered and I said “Hell, yes!”  Suddenly, the direction of our future path became clear: “one day” became “day one” and we began to plan our first trip to begin as soon as the doctors said Myrian could travel.  Our travels since then have taken us far and wide and we hope you will enjoy reading about them as much as we enjoyed experiencing them. If you will permit me another quote from C.S. Lewis: “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”
