The Story We Never Told
Until today that is
We drove up the snowy, winding road towards the cozy A-frame cabin. Everything about this drive was unpredictable, from the snow, to the winding road, to the cabin, to the outcome of it all.
Come take my hand, sweet girl, as I take you on a ride with me, telling you this secret we’ve never, ever told a soul. It’s only fitting that your ears should be the first to hear this story.
It was a cold winter day and we were on our way to my niece’s wedding, 250 kilometres away. This trip had been organised for months, ever since we receive the invite.
We saved every penny for new outfits, petrol money and accommodation expenses. We’d long decided to make a weekend of it. The wedding was Saturday so we decided to leave Friday afternoon and return on Monday night.
Mum was lined up to babysit the fur babies for the weekend, the shopping was done so they all had enough food, bags were packed and we headed off. We were on our way.
But something went haywire and to be honest, neither of us knows the what or the why of it, we really aren’t even sure whose idea it was at first, but we do know it was the best haywire development of our lives, then and now.
I hear you darling, champing at the bit to know what happened so here’s our tale.
