My mom is gone. Which makes me sad. I understand that she cannot stay forever, but leaving is always hard. The fact that I do not know when we will see her or family again makes it even more difficult. We have already decided that going home to Montana for Christmas this year isn't an option. It makes me bummed to say the least that our children are growing up so quickly and everyone is missing it.
But this is Fresh Start Friday not feel sorry for me Friday...
So I will tell you this. I am starting to find my place here in New York. I have a few good friends who always go above and beyond to check in and help out. I found a running path that is beautiful and challenging. And our rental house is really starting to feel like home. For the first time ever, I am beginning to imagine us staying here. Not wanting to stay here - but imagining it all the same.
