I pushed past the one-mile mark and got to the turn around to come back to finish with two. Just a little way from the turnaround is a slight hill. Once you crest the hill, you can see my house.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">The home stretch. It aways brings a sense of peace. Almost home. Almost done. Almost to the resting spot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">I pray my kids always think of our house as home.

I never saw myself this old. I work so hard not to feel this old. Not to act this old, think this old, look this old. But old, I am \u2013 70.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">The thought of being this old and closing in on home going is a comforting thought though because for me I know my future address.
