With each mile, nature's wonders offer relief, turning restless moments into a journey of calm, curiosity, and learning the joys of paying attention to the present.Gram's words echo in my ear, 'Not long now.' So begins an epic journey to Grandma's house, squeezed in a car with four siblings, two parents, and one furry drooler named Daisy.
