Well…we’ve made it to the final resting place before leaving this city. We’ll be living down here until the house is sold. I’ve been here in this town for 25 years Xmas ’26. By the grace of God, I won’t be here then…hopefully I’ll be snuggling with big Puppy while the colored lights twinkle. I can only hope. Carson and I are having our first night in the old unfinished basement. As you can see – many Uhaul boxes in the background and MANY you cannot see. Most people describe me as “elegant” but they have no idea how devoted I’ve been OR how hard I’ve worked OR the many sacrifices I’ve made over the years of my life.
Did you notice the handsome gent I have in bed with me? No doubt my best friend and forever love. I asked Carson to give big Puppy a nite nite kiss. The image is proof! We both love you, honey. I miss you so much.
We’re in bed now with lights out as I write this. Odd to be in an old unfinished basement but I’m still grateful – no matter. The pup is sound asleep with his head here against my arm.
We’ve had a long day. Lots accomplished. They’ve started painting the final coats of paint on all the trim in this house. The dining room is gorgeous. The hardwood flooring installation (in the new den) begins in the morning. The wood was delivered this morning. As of now and weather permitting, I think I’ll have this finished in about 3 weeks time. Hoping. At that point, professional photographs will be made (I’ll share with you) and the house will be appraised and listed.
I asked father to give me the perfect song (yet again) to share with you. It actually came this morning when I awakened. While I don’t know why, I have been really emotional about you (and us) again. I have this book with me and I love the picture on the cover. I’ve gazed at this face many times. Anyway, I just miss you so much and want to be with you….take care of you and our little family. I opened my computer and and this song (that I’ve never heard) was the first option. How WONDERFUL it would be for my phone to ring or see a text from YOU?!! What if you said, “Poppy…RUN!! RUN…don’t walk…It’s time to come home!” The thought makes me cry.
I hope you’ve enjoyed a nice day and your tummy is full of good food? Get some good sleep, okay? Keep me close. You know where I am. I love you, B. I love you so much. xo
