See you soon

We are boycotting "goodbye", such a sad word. It will be replaced with "see you soon" until further notice :)
Lindsey was gracious enough to host a house full of craziness and I'm grateful that she did. With life how it is the small moments frequently mean the most. That afternoon meant a lot to me. I am so thankful I got to see Anna before she leaves on her next adventure.
As we sat around talking about life and being women we all agreed on what a wonderful place Colorado is and how we all feel that it is home. It is full of people that influenced me in ways that I never imagined. Lessons and examples taught that I hold precious and give me light on dark days. It was a special afternoon to get together with women who helped make our area the place that it is and who were also touched by it. I wish I could articulate it better, but it is a unique bond that is created which cannot be broken no matter how far we go.

To those Hampden Hills folks who are still there-
I am eternally grateful for all of you. Thank you for being who you are and being such an influence for good. It is kind of like a training ground and since we have moved I feel like I can draw on the things I learned to share with those around me.

To my dear Anna-I am so happy for you! All those folks in Sweden-those who already love you and those who will come to love you-are so lucky! I have missed your laugh, your wonderful sense of humor and your honesty. You have a special gift of listening and strengthening those around you. Thanks for being wonderful. I count myself very blessed to be able to be your friend. Our friendship will be even stronger the more that it gets stretched. Love you!
I hope that in heaven I can sit down with all the amazing people I know and relax because our earthly trials are over and we will never be separated again. What a happy day that will be!

What a nice post! You are missed, as are all those who have moved away from here! And, I've been meaning to tell you, thanks for starting the book club--it's one of my favorite things in life! Wish you could be with us each month.
