One Last Hurrah... As Neighbors...

I'm sure that we can all relate to a sad... hard... HEART BREAKING break up. You know the ones that tore your heart out and felt like somebody jumped all over it before putting it back... it made you feel like your entire world had fallen out from under you, well... that's exactly how I've felt ever since I got the call... oh, about two months ago, telling me that my fears had come true and that Tony had gotten the job in Idaho. The Courville's would be leaving us... I'll tell ya, I kept the freak out in a lot longer than I thought I would be able to. As I spoke to Deven.... I told her I was happy for them (and I really was... I just wasn't for me...) and that we'd make it work (like a long distance relationship) BUT the second we hung up, I was on the phone to Kevin just sobbing!!!! (that is NOT an over exaggeration)
I kept it together as best I could knowing that ... even though she thought it would take at least six months to sell the house... it would be a lot sooner... I was right. They are leaving Saturday and I still can't believe it.
Dax has no idea that the house he instinctively goes to when we go for walks, will no longer be occupied by his best buddies... no... they will be hours away...
We are SO lucky to have had them so close for the time that we did... and I won't complain because if that's all I get... I'll take it :)
Here are the pictures of the last hang out as neighbors....


*** Yes! I'm a bad mom... the only swim suit I had for Dax was his one from last year and it didn't fit... so he's not an exhibitionist, I'm just a spacey Mom that forgot he might need one for Summer...

Dax just loves Ty... he looks at him like his own big brother... I love that you can see it in this picture...

Noah and Dax are funny buddies... SO much alike that it's scary...and always having a blast...

And this will be Dax after his buddies go..... sad....... and bored....

It seems wherever I go

people come into my life or go out of it

touching me wherever I can feel

then leaving me only a memory

like the Gossamer fairy tales of children

easily forgotten

and I wasn't through knowing them

How do I know who I am seeing for the last time

how do you halt your life to keep those around you

that you've ever known

and how do you keep fairy tales from losing their magic

So come

brush against the walls of my life

and stay long enough for us to know each other

even though we'll have to part sometime

and we both know the longer you stay

the more I'll want you back when you're gone

But come anyway

for fairy tales are the happiest stories we read

and great books are made of little chapters
