My heart is heavy

I am in Albuquerque right now, made it through the worst ice storm I've ever seen. 500 miles of snow and ice. Driving rain, thunder. High plains. I hit the 2000 mile mark just now and am slightly over halfway to my destination. I miss my friends' faces, I miss my old bedroom, I miss being a couple hours from my family. This is going to be harder than I thought.
