today is the 2nd of june.
there's no denying it,
the MITM is leaving soon.
i
am
in
denial.
i hate the last few days before he leaves.
sometimes, i think it would be easier if we woke up one morning and he said, ok, i need a ride to the airport. cut and dry. no anticipation, no anxiety, you know, no long goodbyes. *sigh* but that isn't the way it works, i know and this is nothing new. i still wish things were different and his work didn't take him so far away for so long. the coconut krewe says we're really cool people, but we're sooooo much cooler when we're together. i think they're right.
i'll be back.
maybe later.
maybe tomorrow.
ok, so it was later...
a bit of a cry and a chat, i'm better. (ok, not really, but wtf? yanno?)
anyway, this is going on right here, the building of a mandala at the jepson center which is the contemporary art museum right here in my little town! so, before the end of the week, we'll go down and see the progress. on sunday, i'll go down to watch it be blown away and scattered to the wind.
nothing lasts forever, unless it's remembered.
Dear Savannah I know how you are feeling and sending you a big warm hug. One of the good things about growing old is you can be together most of the time. Until the last goodbye that is. The ones you love are always in your heart. Give him a big kiss and plan what you are going to do when he gets back. Don't waste the days.xox
ReplyDeleteOr you could hide his passport.
ReplyDeleteThis song always makes me smile and feel like I'm in Golden Gate Park. :)
ReplyDeleteOh Hai MJ!
Oh Savannah! I am sorry.
ReplyDeleteBut console yourself momentarily with the extraordinary accomplishment of your kids thinking you are cool!
He'll be back before ya know it.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's not just ye'r kids who think y'all are cool! xoxox
Savannah, cheer up, he might get sacked :-) xo

xl...you're a pal, darlin! thanks for the laughs! xoxo
leah & map...y'all are too adorable for words! thank you both! xoxoxo
joanne...YOU made him laugh out loud for real! (it's his company!) xoxo
Oh, that's too bad. I'm sure you have a million things you'd like to say and do with him before he leaves. Well, count on picking up with them when he returns. By the way, I'll be around Savannah from the 16 - the 18th. Then I don't know what I'm doing or where I'll be but my flight leaves Savannah on the 29. So yeah, let's get together.
ReplyDeleteNothin lasts forever unless it is remembered. Like an afternoon, spent exploring, or a dear friend, whom i strive to remember daily. She said she would soon be forgotten, and mean to prove her wrong.
ReplyDeleteSome nuns from Tibet come here one or another year and make a mandala.
ReplyDeleteIt's brought down to the river in a procession.
Just varicoloured sand.
Ready for another sandcastle.
Long absences are sad Sav - but they do make the heart fonderer

Nothing last forever, out of sight and outof mind.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when my man have to be away for work. =(
A safe and speedy trip to the MITM. And a safe and speedy trip for his return. We will keep you company while he is away.
ReplyDelete((hugs))
ReplyDeleteAwww...hope you're feeling better. Perhaps you could write him letters, to put your thoughts into words, and he'll have something physical to remind him of who's waiting for him back home.
ReplyDeleteFor how long will he be gone? The anticipation of something unwanted is never fun.
