For a moment, just one moment things almost seem perfect. Some pictures are hung. Only a few piles of homeless shirts, pictures, toys and blankets remain. TV service arrives this week. The wood floors are for a moment dust bunny-free. Only one more piece of furniture to assemble. Books are not only shelved, but also arranged in an aesthetically pleasing order. Today the sun's rays even make the flat smile. It almost feels perfect. For some odd reason it is at this moment that I am overcome with sadness. Such odd timing. We are making good friends here, no actually great friends. But my heart aches now for those we left behind. This moment could only be perfect with you here. My mind is flooded with many happy memories of you. So this one is for those we left behind, sending you big hugs from across the pond!
P.S. Did I mention we have a guest room?
