Saying our Goodbyes



Our things are off, and we have a week to stay with friends and take the time to say our goodbyes. Most of all we need time to say our goodbyes to San Francisco, which has been our home for so many years. We have decided to stay 1 or 2 nights at a friends house, and then move to another. Although each of these visits was cherished, and made our daughter forget in the excitement of so many sleepovers that we no longer had a house or a life, they were sad as well. Every time we said goodbye, she asked "Are we ever going to see them again", and we had to say "Not for a long time". Now she hates saying goodbyes now and doesnt respond and casually turns away each time someone says goodbye.
The first few days were good and we had a great time, and even a lovely mother's day lunch all the while realizing that our time was slowly drawing closer.
