We have sold our home and either donated or
Sold most of our possessions. We have said our goodbyes to our families and friends, our yard and beautiful plantings, even our pets ashes. So today, after the last guests have left my mother's
Thanksgiving weekend, it has suddenly become very real for me. The sky. The autumn colors,
Everything seems poignant and final.
I know, intellectually, that there will be some
Exciting days ahead and moments of beauty- dolphins, new birds,
Manatees, sleeping aboard our new home, the boat-
But today my heart wishes I could keep all
Whom I love very near.
