We woke up early and left for Navajoland. My last visit was the beginning of September of last year, so it has been more than 7 months. I missed my in-laws and the energy of Navajoland very much.
My husband was exhausted from job, so I offered driving for a longer period than usual. He ended up being in a deep asleep for more than 5 hours in the passenger’s seat. I needed to drive the difficult driving area of the canyon areas. Thankfully though, the traffic was very light. I could drive safely and calmly during the canyon areas.
While driving, I received a phone call from the nurse. She happily reported my lab test results of yesterday. All the numbers of lipid panel and Hemoglobin A1C were greatly improved. I was happy for the improvements.
When we arrived at my in-laws’ house, they were waiting for us outside. Both of them shed tears while we were hugging each other. They both had a tough time in their health and hospitalized for the past 6 months. They both thought they might die from sickness before they see us again. We all got emotional and shed tears together. We were happy to see each other again.
They cooked mutton stew and fry bread for our dinner. We all enjoyed dinner together.
After dinner, the Sun was still out. We went to our homesite and greeted to the land. Our two pine trees are still there. They look healthy and keep growing tall. I am very happy to be back home.
