Cycle Your Heart Out in Cambridge - Route 24

The Screenshot

It started a few years ago, a screenshot to capture the special moment,
I've lost count now, it's become the norm, and it's only sunk in recently. 

The realisation that I’ll never be able to take a last-minute coffee, pop over for dinner, or enjoy a long comforting hug.
The realisation that our future children will never grow up playing together. 
Multiple countries, all spread out around the world. 
I’ve slowly had to accept the fact that my family will ever agree on one country.

However, with acceptance comes comfort. 
Maybe we all have different destinies, life has a unique plan for us all.

So here I am, on my way to make my Cambridge heart route, my mum and sister by my side. Their faces not on a phone, but right here, next to me.

What I once took for granted, I now cherish with every inch of my being. 

To be with them, and not through a screen, is the best birthday gift. 

No longer a screenshot.
But here side by side.
