Died a little inside last night

just a short walk from our back porch… r-e-g-r-e-t

 

Ever have an unexpected wake up call hit you in the face?

Pulling into the neighborhood last night as our neighbor was removing his garage sale sign. They’re selling things to make moving easier. They close – and have to be out – in 14 days.

Been backyard neighbors with Bobbye and Harry for 20+ years. In their 70’s and full of wisdom, the endless (but rarely taken) opportunities to walk over, are, well, over.

Never thought they’d move away. Always thought we spend more time visiting. I died a little inside last night.

The deadline will not be met. But here’s the thing. The string* of five daily, differently-themed posts will not be broken. No time this morning. It’s happened before. The remedy? Prayed all day that thy writing will be done, before midnight (or in this case, 9pm).

The message for all of us? Press on, in spite of the odds and the obstacles.

Not with language like that he won’t. Try is a dangerous word.
