First Goodbyes

Sunday morning I said goodbye to  Door County and my bestie...and it was not easy. After a tearful goodbye, I drove down the highway, singing (poorly) to Adele's broken-heart love songs, and taking in every last look at that beautiful place. And I say "last" as in "at least 8 months" kind of last. Once I got to Green Bay (actually when I got over the bridge and had my "last" look at Lambeau), things really went downhill. I started thinking about how hard it was to say good-bye to my best friend. How do I say goodbye to my sister, my kids....oh God, my grandchildren! It was a tough ride home.  I can't even blame lack of sleep, too much drinking/partying, anything on this maudlin behavior. Just having a moment!

After a good nights sleep, I was able to wake up with a renewed enthusiasm and a more realistic outlook on our inevitable goodbyes. It's not forever, we have skype and phones, there are planes that can get you home in a flash if need be. And Jeff and I will be seeing and experiencing this country while we can still enjoy it. And we'll have each other, which is not bad! Not bad at all!!!
