through snow

I drove through massive amounts of snow today to stand near a friend in crisis. Once I slid off the road into the ditch & spun my tires forever before I figured out how to get myself steered out. More than once I couldn't see through the slush-covered windshield & had to pull over to wash it with snow.

But in the end, I'm so glad I was here. I'm so glad I could be here to hold her hand & touch her cheek. I'm so glad I was here. Which is where she needed me to be.
