Packing up the house and your stuff has very hard. We are still keeping a few of your things like 'lizzy as you will always be a huge part of us. Leaving the house and the memories was bitter sweet. The drive to SoCal was too long and too quiet for me. It was way too much 'me time' to ponder life's thoughts.
But alas, this is now a whole new volume in our lives with Jasmine in NYC, mom splitting time Tahoe/SoCal/ the open road, and me in SoCal. To be honest, I am a bit scared of what the future holds. I can see/feel my time here getting shorter w each passing day. Yet I sense there is something more to do or more for me to contribute. Is it just a cliche from an old man trying to stay relevant? I hope not.
