Thursday night brought lots of heart break, saying goodbye is never easy. during the day packing away was alot easier because we were busy. Lots of people we love around us =) Some of Zac's closest friends came to help us pack, Forrest and Jordan, Alex, Hemi, Trevor, Andrea and Marissa ..but with that came having to say goodbye. Watching Marissa's heart break was heart wrenching! Her and Zac have been friends since Kindergarten, only living a couple miles apart they saw alot of eachother, they even tried dating back in 7th grade but realized they were too good of friends. As she gave her hugs to each and eveyone of us my heart broke more and more, she was trully devistated, we were taking away her best friend! =( As the day went on so did the goodbyes, Jill, Auntie Cindy and Justin, Ron, Grandma, Ang, James and Ayla, my best friend Andrea! My sisters! My Nephew Kadin! My niece whos more like a daughter to me Shyenne, Dave, The heart ache was endless. Then later that night Erik and Cody came over, two of the three neighbor boys that made up the 4 that were ALWAYS together.. missed you Timmy =( All the goodbyes and crying took alot out of all of us. We decided to stay in the motorhome in the drive way and get a good night sleep before we conqure the drive to Texas..looong drive.
Friday June 12th
We woke up to Darren's Dad outside talking to the new home owner Vickie, we emerge from the motorhome and before you know it Lewey stopped, Sammy and her Mom came came over, Frank and Jerry came, Forrest , Shyenne and Dave all stopped to see us off. So at about 10:15 we were on our way down the driveway with not a dry eye in either vehicle. So hard to pull out of the driveway for the very last time. We all look back as we leave and wave to everyone waving to us. We get about 5 miles away and I get a text from Cody that says..It was so hard to watch you drive away.. my heart broke instantly! I cried the hardest I had yet. I look over at Zac and see the tears streaming from his eyes and look back at madi as her heart is breaking, I feel like saying..FORGET IT! I can't stand hurting so many people! Please forgive me Lord for putting so many people through heart break! But I know it's too late..no turning back now! Then a song comes to mind.." I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance, Never settle for the path of least resistance, Living might mean taking chances But they're worth taking, Lovin' might be a mistake But it's worth making ..I hope you dance" .. Thanks Momma! and that's when I knew we were going to be OK.
We met Jeff at the gas station in Wyoming,MN, got gas, snacks and we were on our way.. on our way to the next chapter in life..to our new paradise. ..please Jesus, help mend the broken hearts we have left behind, help keep all the wonderful memories in all our hearts as they had just happened yesterday. AMEN
