So... I think it just hit me... Im a blubbering mess! I'm stamping the last of our bags... and then I got to the last one... and I realized I will literally never use this stamp again... there is no guarantee of seeing your faces again... the small talks... the big talks... finding out you finished chemo... being your safe space to just walk around when you are having a terrible day... finding out you finished PT after a big surgery... finding out you finally moved, letting me know you got away from a bad relationship... finding out you got that new job... seeing your first grand babies... finding out your kid is getting married... helping navigate allergies... the samples of food I made that I can't wait for you to try... there are SO many conversations I am going to miss being here for... the losses hurt the most... I hate seeing you in pain, I love you all so so much and I am sad I wont be here for those moments for you... oh! and me telling you I will, "catch you on the flippity flop!" On your way out the door, just to see if I get a smile for saying it wrong on purpose, if I get corrected to " It's catch you on the flip side", or if you know the quote and give me the nod... ALL of the things... from upstairs for two years and down here for another... it has felt like ages, but also like in a blink of an eye in here Palmer Lake...
I love you all so so much. I pray so much for peace over this town. Peace over your families. Over your health... man do I pray for everyone's health... so many of you are going through heavy stuff, cancer, surgeries, losses... I was REALLY hoping I could have finally gotten settled down here so we could get groups formed to literally just... unburden together... I will miss being the person you trust to share and pray with you over these things that just kinda suck! Being in those chapters of life are hard and can feel endless and talking with friends and other people that understand and are going through the SAME THINGS help... and praying helps... and even if it only helps a little, that's more than it would help without.... I love y'all, and I am praying for everyone, literally everyone... 🥹💕
Stupid stamp and bags!!! 😭😭😭
