Hi Everyone! You know, after I went to my 50th high school reunion from Lakewood High School (Lakewood, Ohio), and, after having just a wonderful time greeting old friends and classmates, I couldn't wait to get back to get this thing on the road!!
When I first returned, the packing was going great! Even though it is a whole six weeks until I actually start on the road, the movers are coming to pick up the stuff for storage on Thursday. So, I find myself finding reasons to not finish the packing completely because this actually puts the exclamation point on the end of the chapter of my life for me and Mike! Until this week, I just didn't realize how difficult it is going to be to actually leave the keys and walk out the door. I just don't have the words to tell you how sad it is!
Certainly, those of you who have been through this loss know how I feel and have felt the same yourselves. It is said that the things that do not kill us, only serve to make us stronger, and I am sure that is correct.
So, enough whining! Thanks so much for listening (or reading, as the case may be)! Back to the packing! Thursday, I will give you an update. I promise not to become the "whining widow"! Ricci
Ricci, it's amazing you retain the Pollyanna attitude in spite of the kicks in the behind life has provided through the years with this last one being the biggest...
ReplyDeleteMike was an amazing man and one of the things I admired the most about him was his love for you....It's hard to say goodbye and my hope for you is that this journey will continue to provide the reason to love life.
Looking forward to when you pass through someplace I am.
XXOOXXO
