Artwork Description

Long Road Home

0.0 x 0.0

36" x 26" oil on canvas Everything was exactly the way Stephanie remembered it. Nothing had changed. The road was still rocky and unmanageable. She hoped the tires on her new car wouldn't blow. It was many years since she last traveled this road. The last time she vowed never to return. But, here it was, twenty-five years later and she was indeed going home to her father's funeral. Stephanie had mixed emotions about this trip. Relatives and friends she hadn't seen since the last trip, neighbors she avoided, souvenirs of a disturbed and unhappy childhood. This trip couldn't be avoided. The will would be read and she hoped her father hadn't cut her out. She wanted something for being born, something for all the hardships she endured, something for the life that was so tormented. Possibly some of his millions would gloss over the past and she could forgive him. The will would be read after the funeral. Until then she had to put up with everything and everyone. She said a silent prayer as she traveled "Long Road Home".
