It's Just a Ride.

The Barnstable County Fair had a ride called THE GRAVITRON. It was just a big room shaped like a space ship that spun around real fast. I always wanted to go on that ride and it always made me nauseous.

I feel like I've eaten a pound of fried dough and cotton candy and I'm stuck on an ever-spinning ride run by some carnie who refuses to let me off even though I keep screaming, "I feel sick! I need to get off! I don't feel well."

And he laughs and says, "You wanted a ride!"

But I'm done riding. I want a nap.

I keep working, doing, trying for my family. For my husband. For my Cooper.



I don't want to let them down.

But I'm dizzy.

Sometimes the ride is just a nightmare. We don't often get the ride we want but we ride along anyway and we wait in line for another ride. Waiting in line is the journey. The people you meet waiting in line are just like you. It's just a ride. You are an amazing Wife, Mother, Daughter and Friend. Your time to enjoy the ride will come. The line is getting shorter.
I love you.

All I can offer is...some carnival rides suck but they have to stop and let you off eventually.

BTW,big thank's for the PARA ABNORMAL kudo. Glad your enjoying it.
