I'm missing my girls like crazy.
All of these pictures
are of a day-trip
to Cartagena
that we took last month...
with the girls, and Mommy and Daddy
about a week before leaving for FL...
where we are now.
The house hunting is going very well
and we really believe the house we're waiting to hear word about
is the one that was waiting for us.
This one feels 'real'
and as much as I'd love living there...
it's put me in a melancholy mood
because it's more REAL
that I'll be living so far away
from my granddaughters.
I'm not sure how to get my head around
not living near them
and it just hurts.
On the other hand,
I love
and look forward to
the next chapter
of our lives
and look forward
to having the best of both worlds.
For NOW
Since now is all that really is...
I'm going to focus on being thankful
for what and where
I AM.
Create Your Life,
aww, i'm sorry you are having sad moments but they can come visit and you to them, as they get older they start out on their own more and have less time for Nana and Papa, sad but true, quality over quantity!Take care my friend, enjoy this exciting new time in your life, sound s wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Laurie. Sophia has already begun to have a very busy social life. I just really love being there where she can take a break from it all. But then, she's young. She probably doesn't need the break I think she does.

ReplyDeleteI don't know what to say other than I am thinking of you and wishing you all the best as you sort things out.
ReplyDeleteThanks Char. That means a lot.
DeleteSo you are moving back to the states? I can imagine the mixed emotions you are going through. One of the reasons I didn't buy in Chile was because I would be so far from Tatiana and Jon. I think I've made the right choice. However, Colombia is much closer to the US than Chile so I'm sure you can visit often or vice versa. Keep us posted Annie, you are my thoughts daily.
ReplyDeleteThank you Constanza. I know I'm only a plane ride away...but that's a bit different than being up two flights of stairs. All will be well. Better than.
DeleteHello, my Dear! I've come to you from The "Grow Your Blog" party...it was over before I knew about it, but it was so nice of Vicki to leave the list up! Anyway, I always welcome new blogs to enjoy, and yours is delightful! I am now following you ~ please come and visit me if you get a chance!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to "meet" you!
Hugs,
Anne
Awwww....thanks Anne. It amazes me how many people I've met with 'our' name! I'm off to visit your blog now.
DeleteYes. Now is all we've got. Xoxo. Terah
ReplyDeleteAnd let's make the best of it! Thanks Terah! Especially for those hugs!
DeleteI'm happy and sad for you! And I'm happy for me that your search for a house might have come to a fruitful end! :)
ReplyDeleteRemember, there's always Skype!
Thank you girlfriend. We got the house!!!
DeleteWait until you hear the story!
I'm sorry you are moving away from your grandaughters, but The world is getting smaller and I'm sure you will still share many many happy moments together,It is exciting that you are moving into a new chapter and I wish you all the best in your adventure... lovely atmospheric photos as usual Annie.
ReplyDeleteThanks Morag. I know it'll all work out and we will have lots of time together.
DeleteHope all goes well with the house buying and you hear for sure soon. I can hardly stand the suspense! Ybf ann
ReplyDeleteWe have a verbal agreement! Once we sign papers it'll be official in my mind...so I haven't said too much but we're thrilled!!! More later.
DeleteSuch a bittersweet blog! I love your positive attitude...life is to be Lived, isn't it!! thanks for sharing the pictures and your feelings!
ReplyDeleteIt really is bittersweet. I don't always have a positive attitude...but I sure do try. You're SO right Jay. Thank you very much. I will live life to the fullest.
DeleteOh, how torn you must feel. Ready for new adventures, but so hard to let go. And being away from your granddaughters must be painful indeed. I guess we are lucky we live in the days of internettechnology where at least you can keep up to speed with them and hopefully talk to them through skype or something like that. Good luck again on the house hunt. By the way, loved the art in your last post.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Caatje! You've described it right. We do have Skype and already when we call, Sophia jumps up and goes off to play and we're left looking at the chair she was in!!! How's that for being missed?!? LOL!!!
Deletehard to be so torn, I can imagine since hubbies kids don't live close, but not as far away as your grand babies. xox
ReplyDeleteWell...I'll just have to focus more on what I can be happy for instead of the other way around. xxxoooo back atcha
Deleteoh, you are leaving your granddaughters.... that does sound hard.
ReplyDeletewe follow our hearts and more and life unfolds in ways we may never have guesses.
wishing your life to hold grace, love and clarity.
It IS. I'm just gonna have to focus on all the good stuff and believe it will all be fine. Thank you Tammie Lee.
DeleteSomehow in this technological world of the internet and computers and cell phones, you will be able to stay 'connected' with your family. It is such a bittersweet transition in your life. The move back to the States also means saying good bye and hello at the same time. Take care, Annie.
ReplyDeleteI'm so thankful that I'll be able to visit them a couple/few times a year too. It will all be fine. I know that. Thank you so much.
