As I read your post, I wondered about the idea of finishing a long sought goal and immediately moving forward before fully celebrating it. We have rituals in our culture that help cement the feeling of accomplishment, to mark the occasions like graduations, anniversaries, weddings (for the parents, launching a child into the world). Stories are told, friends and family are there to witness the moment. Perhaps you 3 can still do a celebration ritual after you are home and rested up-- if we learned anything from Covid, it was that humans can celebrate birthdays and funerals and even Friday happy hours over Zoom! I attended an 80th birthday with people all over the world for a dear friend from Houston. I hope to get an invitation if you do create a ritual to celebrate the Odyssey of the Band of Brothers!

Thank you for keeping us updated on the continuation of your adventure. Until all three of you are home the journey is still happening! My morning routine of looking for your posts is happily the same. When you mentioned Rapid City I thought “hey I’ve been there”!
