Unforgettable
I have no idea what I was doing a year ago today on my birthday, but I know I’ll never forget this July 6th… because 5 nice guys are here packing up our house.
It takes a lot of living to understand the nuanced differences between so long and goodbye. So long is for now. But goodbye is forever.
This week I’m saying so long to a town full of good friends and neighbors – people I know I’ll see in years to come. But I’m also saying goodbye to a very cozy house where my husband and I raised our two kids and two dogs for the past two decades – a cherished place (and era) I will visit again only through memories… sweetened with time.
While I’m excited about the next chapter in my life and whatever that may bring, letting go never gets easier. Because so long is for now. But goodbye is forever.
