I'm at the point of a new beginning
I never thought I'd find myself here
My brand new knee is working fine
And so this is not about that
My son is planning a move in the near future
He has told me about in the past
He planned to sell his duplex - rental property
Then sell his own home and move South
I had heard this before and put it aside
Nothing to bother me yet
This time I listened and knew it is real
My tears and sadness set in
He told me this was always his plan
When they moved here twenty years past
I was in Chicago living my own new life
Never dreaming I'd move back myself
Then I remembered the wonderful challenge
Facing new obstacles, solving new problems
Building new friendships in the Greenbriar Apartment
Exploring a rich thriving life
I savor the gift to continue here
Living my life as it teaches new lessons
After experiencing so many kind hearts
Tending me after my recent knee surgery
I know the Greenbriar is truly my home
And as my son says, we'll always be family
No matter the place we call home

Still… It cannot be easy!
So glad you are on the mend and feel at home where you are!
Thanks, Dale. There is a backstory of how my muse returned in the midst ot all this – for another time.
All I can say is I am very glad it did!
So am I. Thanks.
🙂
Beautiful!
Thank you, Susie. ❤
Oh wow that’s a big change, and I can hear that there is both sad and happy in there for you. Does that mean your grandson will be far away as well?
Thanks for understanding what’s in my heart. My son says he didn’t expect his sons to come back to Cleveland even if he stayed here. But we will always have family get togethers of some sort.
This puts your last two posts in better context ~ definite sadness, but also the happiness and hope knowing these are the moments to make us strong and life a bit more rich. From my experience living so far away from family and those I love, is it makes get together incredible ~ more shared experience and love than otherwise imagined. To happy days ahead 🙂
Dalo, your response means a lot to me. I know we will still get together and it will be wonderful, but the sadness lingers. Partly I think because I don’t know how my knee will respond to travel. The challenge will enliven me when it comes. 🙂
“The challenge will enliven me when it comes.” I like this ~ it seems such challenges are often the spices of life. 🙂
