Last Post of the Year
TV is on mute, the Kid is upstairs on a computer. Wife is checking out properties in North Carolina, our future home, while the Chi sits curled up between us.
The ropes tying us to this port are being cut one by one and soon we will leave the place we’ve called home for almost 12 years. Acreage, mountains, horses and small town Southern America loom. It will be a big change in a life full of changes.
We leave a loved one behind in this year, the Mother-in-law. I’m afraid that I will lose my own mother during the coming year. Nevertheless Life will happen regardless of my hopes and fears, but that doesn’t stop me from hoping (or fearing) as I do every year.
This is my home, filled with Life and hope. I would have it no other way.
