We're five days away ....I can't fathom that. Tim started almost three months ago, and now, he has almost reached the end...the very tip of Canada. Some days, it seems like I just left home, other days, it feels like I've been away for years. I think both Tim and I miss home, but we've been blessed with such a great chance to see this country, meet the people and its been so cool to watch him impact lives. For every single tree or road sign that I've seen, I know there are that many people rooting for him across this great country, and even more back home.
After arriving into Newfoundland, we drove around a little bit to take in the island air. Everything here is so different, the homes, the accents, its so neat. A man from one of the provincial parks here pointed out this awesome trail to Tim and I, it was breathtaking! It took us about 45min to finish, but you could see everything. The path was mostly a boardwalk, with lots of uphill climbing, but when we stood on top of those hills we could see way out into the ocean. It was beautiful! Newfoundland is a beauty all its own.
Has anybody ever told you that what you dream just can't happen? Or maybe, what you desire seems a little to far fetched? --Tim had this dream one day to bike across Canada, and now, he is almost finished. At the start, I know that not everybody thought this trip would work out, there were many skeptics. I've found on this trip that when somebody doesn't believe in you, that is such a drive to be better and to prove to not only them, but to the world that you CAN do it and you WILL do it. I'm thankful that people didn't believe in Tim, because he is here now proving to them that they were wrong.
Now that the tour is almost over, Tim has a plan to write a book. Actually, it's not a plan, it is a goal, and if anybody can get it done, he can. One day, while we browse the 'inspirational readings' or 'documentaries' of Chapters or Coles, we will see many books written on Tim Harriman, maybe even a few of his own books will grace the shelves with their presence.
Tim is great, so therefore, he will continue to achieve greatness.
As I sit here in this RV (the one I can't wait to give away...) I watch Tim push his way up another hill. He is so determined, now more than ever to get to that finish line. To finish, and finish well.
GO TIM GO!!
