Leaving the Rhode River
this time around feels a lot different than when we left
in July. We do not know when we will be back in
the area. I did not expect it to hit me so hard,
but I found myself quite overwhelmed as I was driving
into Eastport running errands before we left at noon
today. Following the same route I drove into the
office for twelve years, I suddenly realized that it
would be a long time before I traveled that path again.
Walking through the yard and down the dock for the last
time, I wondered when we would next see our beautiful
home waters.
Of course it isn't
about the place, but the people. I think
of all the happy times that we will miss with our
friends we leave behind. We won't be there to share
in the joy of a new baby. We'll miss all the
soccer games and swim meets and gymnastics parties. Will I still be able to
help a friend through a crisis when I am so far away and
so hard to reach? How many friends will we fall
out of touch with? Who will have moved on to a new
place by the time we get back?
We are sailing through
the night to reach Hampton, Virginia on Thursday morning
as I dwell on these thoughts. It is cold out
there, but the stars are out and I do know that our
friends will always be with us in our hearts.
Christy, Joe, Cassie and Juliana
