From 20 people in our house on Friday, to nine on Sunday, to eight on Monday, to six this morning, to four this afternoon.
Everyone has left.
It will be a long time before we see Nate and Johanna again, I suspect. Saying goodbye to them was hard this time.
With their Neon loaded up with everything they need to take from here, off they went, into the West.

And I am back at the office, with more memories of this church space than I had a week ago, and getting back into life.
I believe I have a major paper that has been delayed till this week. But for tonight I think we four will just take it easy. Soup for supper, maybe a movie in the evening, just decompress and let these new feelings find new homes in our hearts.
Â
Once again, settling into the new normal.
It's ok.

But thankfully there is the wonder of modern forms of communication: telephone, skype, webcams, email etc etc... it is always hard when our offspring leave home, but we do learn to adapt.
ReplyDeleteThe wedding looked like it was absolutely fantastic and I was pleased to see the bride wasn't wearing that tulle on her head. ;)
