And just when we thought we had them, for real this time…they’re off again. Dane will be attending school in Arkansas for a year and then going wherever the job market takes him. I know he needs to do this, but that only helps my heart a tiny bit.
I’d love to dream that something, someday would bring them back here, to stay. But, honestly, I don’t know if anything ever really will. They love traveling and having adventures and being in new places all the time. I think we must just be too sedate for these little nomads. *sigh*
I’ll miss them more than they will ever know.
I’ll miss all the hugs
and the impromptu drop ins
and the lending books
and the dinner invites
and that cute face looking in my door window
and the Mr Grinch parties
and those lovely whiskers
and putting special candy in the treat jar
and going to summer booths
and the little shy smiles
and…
and…
and…
*sigh* again.
Believe it or not, this is me…
being brave.
