The Plan

And so she makes plans to escape...part of her feeling like a hypocrite, the other part of her looking forward to the drive and the destination that will meet her Thursday night.
Friday she will get some much needed time with some of her favorite kids in the world. She'll play and laugh and soak up all of the steal-your-heart moments she knew she would miss.
Saturday she will spend a day with a boy on a real date...and Sunday...Sunday will bring the kind of goodbye that is rejuvenating and calming.
She will come back ready to invest in what she has here instead of longing so much for everything that is far away.
