They left. The kids across the street, and their parents. We knew from the day they moved in a year ago that this day would come, but we didn't know we'd get so attached. Now when I drive into the quiet--all too quiet--cul de sac, there's a big lump in my throat. We know they are moving on to a wonderful new life. But for us, we're left here to miss them a lot. They've been great neighbors ... every single one of the five of them. What a gift to us to know them, even for a year. And now at least we can watch their blog and learn about their new adventures! Have a good life, you guys! Come back and see us!

They will miss you guys too.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there were tears.
I'm sure letters will travel
to their new home from the cul-de-sac. The Lord bless them and
you with new neighbors!
