I was saying to a friend last night that this part of the journey feels like the last bit of a marathon.
You can see the end goal in sight (ie coming home) but your muscles are burning and everything hurts… but you know you have already achieved so much and you’re nearly there so you have to keep going through the pain!
I’ve never felt such juxtaposing emotions at literally the same time – positive: more than that – ecstatic even (about how far she has come) but at the same time so bone tired and emotionally drained that you feel like the slightest breeze could knock you to the ground.
