Saying Goodbye

I am excited to be back as a family again. It has been a challenging 4 months.

With that said, I am sad about leaving, especially my house. I think I am dreading the last night in the place that I have called home for almost 6 years. I am sad about leaving the memories of bringing two beautiful kids home here. I am sad that it will be our last couple days sitting on the porch and watching the kids come down from school and waving to Dan as he passes by or stops and says hi. I am sad that the only place Charlie has ever known will now be a distant memory for him as I am sure he will quickly adapt to his new life. 

I am sad about leaving people who I may not see again...my piano kids, my students, colleagues. I will greatly miss my beautiful nieces and nephews who have grown into amazing adults. But, then I remember, they are moving on with their lives as well. They have minimal years left before they step out  somewhere new. 

I will miss our trees. So silly, but the new house is new ish and does not have many trees. And I love my shade.

This all will pass, I will wake up on a week from today, go about my business as I quickly make the last closing touches here and move on...we have had many great things happen here, but anticipate many more great things in Verona. The most important...we will be a family again, everyday!
