I-85 has become a distant proximity

I-85, driven by thousands of people every day, has now become a piece of knowledge and experience that only my family shares, in the frame of reference of my parents. It goes through where I live and if I take it east, I will get to the city they lived in before they had to leave. No one around them has ever heard of I-85, or would know what it is if they heard “I-85″ in speech. Or know what it might look like.

They also don’t know that what it will feel like for my parents to come back for Christmas and get on I-85N, above all that it will be coming home. They will come home and then get on I-85 to drive up to Richmond again, where they hosted a wedding two months ago, to spend Christmas with family. That’s not something anyone around them now can relate to, but it’s important to my parents.
