May 27, 2009, 3:30pm: Here I sit, all broken-hearted. Big day in my life, I believe even bigger than tomorrow. The past couple of days has had me tying up loose ends – Banking, Forwarding mail, Canceling car insurance, Vacating apartment, etc. I have also forwarded a final few possessions to friends and family. I have parsed down the things I am going to take with me a couple of more times. I am packed – one suitcase & my backpack with computer, camera, a few paperworks, etc. My bags are in my car & tomorrow morning I head towards my new home. There have also been a few goodbyes scattered in this week. One of which was the hardest goodbye in my life to date, my Little Miss Claire, had me crying tears for hours afterwards. Again this morning with my niece Little Miss Kolby. It is amazing to me how saying goodbye, even with the knowledge that it is not forever, can be so hard – just because there is no finite answer on when we will see each other again.
Now, this brings me to this morning. I had breakfast with my dad, as I have most mornings, the past several years. Afterwards, we had our goodbye. It was difficult for me again, but the completely heart-breaking part, is that I know he felt the exact same way I felt earlier, saying goodbye to the girls. Dad, if you ever read this, I am sorry for that pain - but I will see you again, soon. This is not forever. A couple hours later, repeat this process with my mother, at her work. I will see you soon, mom.
Okay, as I am sitting here crying again, I am just going to say that I hope the emotions have come through in these few words & I am going to get back to my happenings.
Now I sit here, eating some lunch. When I leave here, I am going over to a friends house, who has graciously given me his spare bed for my last night in Dallas for a while & a 4:30am ride to the airport. The hard emotions of above, mixed with the excitement of this journey, mixed with the queasiness of the uncertainty of my first few days in Hawaii have all combined to do a number on my stomach the past 24 hours. But overall, I am so excited & so ready to see where life leads me.
So, now I have said ‘Aloha’ to all my friends & family & I get ready to say ‘Aloha’ to all my new friends & neighbors in Hawaii. See y’all tomorrow!
