Moving Day

Feb. 2^nd.

I look at what we have accomplished in just a month with focus and action! House is on the market for sale or rental. POD is cleaned out, items distributed to charities, sold, given to family members and friends, or discarded.  As difficult as it is to leave the house its nothing compared to saying good-bye to friends I care so much for. And that is nothing like saying good-bye to Lindsay.

We hug for a long time. She hugs her dad, we hug again. Her tears begin to flow, she sobs. I hold her and try to console her. My tears flow now too.

I tell her she must visit soon, and that the way is open for her to follow us to CA in the future.

I tell her she is my daughter in my heart, my soul and spirit. I mean it. I will miss her and her little dog Chloe.  I hold out the idea and the hope that Lindsay will someday move to CA and live close to us while building a future for her own life. I let her go with love and prayers that she will find her way toward her own happiness.
