After we'd left behind the vomiting and the city traffic, after we'd made the big turn toward the south into the hilly part of the state, my son sat up in the passenger's seat and said, "I'll bet we can get the Guardians' home opener on the radio."
And we did. I can't tell you how thrilled I was to be driving my son home from the hospital while listening to our baseball team on the radio, with the sun shining brightly and redbud blooming exuberantly in the surrounding woods.
At our bridge I stopped so we could listen to the creek and look up the hill at the trilliums blooming, and then we got to the house and found the resident he-man ready to haul all our stuff in from the car and then serve us lasagna and garlic bread, piping hot from the oven. And then to sleep in my own bed, rise to a pot of my favorite tea, and go for a walk amongst the spring blossoms--well, it's good to be home. I have a list as long as my arm of things I need to do before returning to campus Monday, but just for today let's just relish the comforts of home.
