T Minus 1 Day

T Minus 1 Day

On a plane northward
Kenyan athletes on board
A reminder that our walk
Crosses not only streets
But hopefully borders between people
Couldn’t have a more perfect friend to help build those bridges
Looking forward to meeting all the loving people
Who have opened their hearts to our endeavor
Feeling strangely calm
Jim’s legwork makes that possible
So many upsides:
New friends
Old friends
Being proactive
A richer way to express our love for the life we’ve been gifted
The cookies and t-shirts
Only downside:
Nine days without Linda by my side
Thank God for FaceTime
The plane is descending
Time for us to ascend.
