Our friends --- for the last year or two, our best friends here --- move Sunday/Monday to the DC area. They are packing the truck tomorrow, he will drive it up on Sunday, and she and their son will stay with us Sunday night before driving up in the car on Monday morning.
And today was round seventeen of twentythree in the long goodbye process. Don't get me wrong: I'd very much prefer the multiple goodbyes! Today's were particularly nice: an egg hunt this morning (the big hit? finger mounted diffuse flashlights in nice colours, which Skibo immediately christened "laser beans") and then a pizza dinner at a very kid-friendly restaurant that has long been a favourite of their son.
The downside of so many goodbyes is that it reinforces the sadness at their leaving....
Yours, missing them already,
N.
