Two years ago we were on our way to NY. It wasn't the family vacation we had pictured but we were doing it because my mom was battling cancer.  It has been two years since we have had a vacation and mentally we all need one more now then ever. We have been at our worst recently trying to get back to our best. I keep trying to figure out ways to escape Alabama and get the emotional break I need but things don't come together. I'm pretty heart broken about spending the kids summer doing nothing. Mia was so excited yesterday and was like we are going to NC this week. It was so sad to tell her we weren't. Please Lord help us.
