Even though Holly is far away, I'll be able to see her in less than 2 weeks when I go to Ohio. I'll be hitting the open road and travelling to Cincinatti so I thought, hmm, maybe I'll get myself a hotel room and have another mini-vacation after our visit. Holly's new home is right near King's Island so all the hotels are super expensive for what they are (wow! a night at the Red Roof Inn for only $110! What a crock of shit!) so I expanded my search to the greater metro area and there it was, a decent hotel in the same small town where I gestated. I wasn't expecting that. My birthmom spent a few months in a home for unwed mothers (it's now a convalescent home) waiting for my arrival and for the chance to get back to her life along with a host of other young women. I don't think I'll be staying at that hotel, it would be too easy to want to drive by that place and imagine what it was like for her then, I guess that's part of her story that I don't want to intrude in.
