Sounds like a memorable trip. I am sure she was grateful as well. I remember when my grandfather was in his 90s and he reached the point where he needed to let the car go. I would go take him a couple times a week to get his groceries and supplies and what not. He always said I did not need to do that for him. I always insisted. Truth is it was more for me than for him. I miss those days.Thanks for bumping this thread, Rick. Wasn’t sure where to place these 2 but I think they fit.

From Ludington and Scottville Michigan. I’m originally from the mitten and my whole family moved to the West side of the state from Detroit a few years ago. While it’s not where I was born and raised, these spots on the west side now feel like home.
I did a solo trip cross country, 4600+ miles across 12 states (and countless snow storms) to see my Grandma on her 91 birthday. She recently got diagnosed with Leukemia and I felt compelled to take this journey. Grandma is going through chemo treatment and at her age, I’m not certain she’ll see another bday. Grateful I was able to spend her 91st with her!
