It is 5 in the morning and here I sit...wide awake. Not bushy tailed, but awake. Woke up at three and couldn't go back to sleep so I am up watching infomercials and wondering if I need some of Joan Lunden's special face cream.
Today my two best friends in the whole wide world are coming down to the Island to visit. Caleb and I will take them to lunch and we will just hang out and get caught up with all the gossip and family happenings. When I reflect on what is happening in the next month with this big move, I am having a hard time knowing that I am leaving my friends. Becky and Tita are my sounding board and they are the two people that know my heart best. I will miss our lunches and giggles. I will miss their faces and their absolute love of me and my family. We will email and talk on Skype but it will never, ever really be the same. I am leaving them to follow the dreams my family has. Leaving my friends and family is my only regret. I know we will stay in touch, and I will pray for God to watch over them. And I will pray that I will get to hug their necks again, some time down the road. I am blessed...
Oh Liz, how short that road to Alaska will seem when it concerns your best friends. Guaranteed, they will make their way north to many visits and you back to visit them and your family. My two besties live far away, but we just pick up where we left up where on the phone or visits...Enjoy your special day!
ReplyDeleteSandi, that is so true. We have been friends for 21 years and one of us has moved away for several years and we managed to meet up when she came home so I know it can be done. And we DID have a very special day...lot of laughing and we wiped out the Tuesday Morning store on the Island. Lunch at The Big Donkey and we just hung out at the condo. :)
