As you read this, Ric and I will be saying farewell to Texas and our cozy home on the canal. We leave behind new friends, the countless birds who have so entertained us, and the beautiful Gulf Coast.
I am both excited to be home, and sad to end our time here. But isn’t that life? There is a time for a new beginnings and there is a time for endings.
This week, since it’s all you are likely to hear about from me (okay, I’m cheating a bit), let’s reflect on farewells – the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Looking forward to your responses.
To participate, create a post on your own blog (or leave a message in the comments). Respond with poetry, prose, photography, or whatever else comes to mind. Link your post to this one, and tag your response: VJWC. Enjoy the creativity offered.
Finally!

Your mother was wise – and sadly, not wrong. Hope you have help.

It’s sad that appointments with health professionals take so long. Neurologist could take 1+ years. Physiotherapist one month. Being covered under OHIP needs a letter of referral and 7+ months on a waiting list. 😦

We had to say a deeply fond farewell this week. I spotted this challenge on the very day.
