I opened my eyes with the morning sun. I tossed and turned a bit. I sat up. We were close.
Then:
“Utah, life elevated.”
I was ecstatic. I was so close to home!
Joe and Mary were incredibly kind. They invited me to stay the night in their home in Salt Lake City. I gratefully accepted.
Their house was full of humans and fish and love. I was made to feel at home. They told me that I was welcome to stay for a few days. The following week Joe’s brother, who was also a truck-driver, would be heading towards Sacramento and would be happy to take me along. I was very appreciative of the offer, but it felt so arranged. I also wanted to keep moving.
We all ate dinner together. After dinner Mary and I watched a movie. I fell asleep on the couch.
