saying goodbye

The time is quickly approaching for us to move from Athens. Emotionally, we have the feeling, "been there, done that, don't want to feel that again". Moving is very hard-not the logistics (although that is no trip to the park), but the ripping of our hearts away from those we love. Our whole family has very significant relationships in Athens. This is the 3rd time we have lived here and our history is rich with our dear friends. The pain of leaving is also a reminder of the past pain of leaving other people we love as well.

Sara Groves has written a song called, "Every Minute" which is a sweet, sweet song about friendship. So, to all of you...

And I wish all the people I love the most
Could gather in one place
And know each other and love each other well
And I wish we could all go camping
And lay beneath the stars
And have nothing to do and stories to tell
We'd sit around the campfire
And we'd make each other laugh remembering when
