An imminent departure tainted by bad news.

We're heading back to Florida to -probably- start the journey tomorrow.  However, it's with my heart in my throat, a tension headache, and a lot of anxiety that I prepare our departure because my father's health is not good back in France; he is in a great deal of suffering.  So hanging by the phone and emails, I am on alert in case I need to jump in an airplane suddenly.  I'll tell you: these life events put things right back into perspective; indeed, the whole stress of embarking on such a huge endeavor seems very trivial now.
