Goodbye

There are always goodbyes. Just when I thought it was finished. It’s not. I find myself tearful again. Will there ever be a final goodbye? I have said the words and left you behind, and yet… To me you still call, waiting for me, Waiting to say goodbye.

Today we circled the wagons in our family. Not sure what I mean?
