It’s been awhile since I was able to spend Christmas with both parents and my siblings.
Since coming to Henry County we’ve been deterred by weather and ill-timed car problems.
You see, it’s about a four-hour drive to get to my dad’s home in Western Kentucky — there’s no direct route, and the path is easily made treacherous by the slightest amount of snow.
Mom’s place is only about 2.5 hours away, a much easier trek, mostly by interstate.
