The Saga Continues...

This has been a wild few days.  I haven't needed the "search" but have definitely needed the "rescue".
The best part has been watching Nate work his magic on the drums at two gigs with Black Blondie.  It's so awesome to watch him play!  I can still remember him at 2 1/2 playing the drums with pencils on his car seat!

Nate worked with me for several hours at the storage locker and we got a lot done.  It was a very emotional time and I would often just stop what I was doing and hold him.  Thank you dear Nate for being there with me and putting up with all the tears.  Missing him is the part of this move from Minnesota that has me feeling unsure and has my heart aching.  I have to trust that all will be good.

While seeing all the boxes - every little item has a memory linked to it.  There are old toys and books that I just can't part with.  They need to be handed off to the next generation.

I was thinking about how much I miss Ryan, Deb, and Eden.  They are also on their own journey as a new family.  With Ryan in the military - the places they live are understandably dictated by the Navy.  The most awesome scenario - for me - would be that someday they would get stationed in San Diego!

Once again I have relied on wonderful friends to help me get through this rather traumatic process.  Annie and Eric - you are the Best!  On many levels I literally could not have handled this experience without your help and friendship.
  
Vicki - you show up with your wonderful spirit and laughter and when I see you I'm reminded of what a blessing it is to call you my friend.

JB - thanks for your counsel and willingness to help with storage or whatever.  I appreciate it so much.

My sister Kathy will be arriving from San Diego this Friday the 25th.  On Sunday the 27th - she'll be driving back to California with me in the - probably bigger than expected - moving truck.  I'm so grateful for your kindness and patience with me.  Thank you, thank you, thank you! 
 

I appreciate my family and friends so much as I continue my journey.  MRW - my Cosmic Connection - far away in miles but nestled softly in my heart.  Thank you all for your support and encouragement. 

  

Thank you for being "the wind beneath my wings".  I love you all.
