Moving on

Stopped by to see Courtney and her mom and dad this afternoon. I'm sure there will be many people like me who can't wait for Courtney to move on to her next step in her recovery, yet are sad in that she'll be so much farther away. I know in RI many people dread the "long" drive from Lincoln to, say, Warwick but this is different. Driving into Boston from Providence and returning to Uxbridge isn't a trip I can make often, during the week, while still contributing here at home.
Ultimately, we all want Court to get the best possible care and if that means she needs to travel to Juneau, Alaska we would cheerfully see her off knowing in our hearts that she'll be that much farther down her road to recovery when she returns. But I will miss knowing that Courtney is so close as I drive by RI Hospital every morning to work. (That's when I'm not yelling at some looney who thinks it's a good idea to stop in the middle of the highway because they're talking on their cell phone!) ((((((Courtney))))))
