Knowing we are making our last tracks back and forth to home we loaded up a cargo van and brought a load of things to be stored at my sister's place and had a bon voyage party with friends and family from our home state. The party was great fun, thanks to Mom and Dad in-law for coordinating the affair. We could never have seen all those important people if not for your foresight. We even got a chance to visit with team Colorado, yeah! All fun things must come to an end. One of the last to leave was my sister and her kids. Her family has graciously agreed to care for our dear dog in our absence. Glad that the dog can go to a family we know and love is a good thing but the good-bye was a tearful one. All three of my kids were a mess, my sister's kids held it together pretty well. My sister and I had a bit of a "Color Purple" moment as we hugged and couldn't let go. My sister in-law told me later she cleared her girls out of the way and hid in another part of the house, too much emotion.
Now we are back at our empty house without a dog and trying to get a date for the move. I have made the analogy, it is like being over-due pregnant and everyone is asking, "What's the date?" Trust me, when we know, you will too. I think we need to focus on the 'patience' part of our prayers again. By "we" I really mean ME.
