Had to tell a realtor that we would not be staying with her yesterday. It hurt my feelings. I really truly like this person, I really think they are fantastic at their job. I just do not think that it was working this time..blame the economy, where the house is, the market something..but I do not think it was her fault. For whatever reason it just did not work out. She took it well, took it with a lot of professionalism and that makes me like her that much more. I would recommend her to anyone still.
Had to say goodbye to my group of band booster parents. I worked with this fantastic group of people over the last 3 years, we had some really great times. I think I may have enjoyed it more than my daughter enjoyed band..haha! Was really kinda sad for me to have to say goodbye.
Learned someone from my past died yesterday. I could not help but to cry, over this loss. I have not spoken to him since I was 18. His son was just born and that is the last time I can remember seeing him. But he is in a lot of my childhood memories. I pray his family finds peace.
My daughter told me yesterday her best friend at school seems to be shutting her out. She had made plans with her for Saturday and she has now cancelled them in lieu of going somewhere else with a group of kids who are not moving. This is the part of being a military family with kids that SUCK! Enjoy people while they are here..we are not guaranteed a tomorrow. No idea why anyone would do this to another person. I know when I have had close friends and had to move or they had to move, we cherished all those final moments together. It is sad at 16 they have not realized you can make life long friends with someone from anywhere and it is important to relish those final days. These are memories you will hold for the rest of your life.
The move is not an easy one, they never really are. Even if you truly want to go elsewhere start anew, there is always pain involved. Whether it be going through your house and downsizing, leaving a house you love, friends, or a state. Pain is going to be there, and it is a simple fact of Military life. The life we chose together almost 24 years ago, there are a few things I would change over the course of the last 24 years...but that big decision ...would never change it. It is ingrained and woven everywhere in our lives. We are a Military Family, he may serve ..but we all have sacrificed things in our own way.
