Good Friends and Goodbyes

It seems like our tribe is spreading throughout the country. It started with my son's best friend and his family. They moved back to where they were from originally, last week. That was a very hard loss for our family, as their family became family.

Next month a friend I have known since the 4th grade embarks on her adventure with her daughter. Her daughter that I helped bring into this world. It will be a great opportunity for them and bring a brighter future. I am so insanely happy for them.

I have another friend I have known since 5rh grade who has family on the east coast with an incredible opportuty to give her children not only a great life but abundance. I know that her family will not only be okay, but find success in all they do as it will be how their lives will be designed. They will be in a situation that will make failure almost impossible.

Another friend is faced with a situation of being able to better herself and pave out an incredible future for herself. I wish her nothing but luck and thank her for all of the positivity she has brought to our lives. She has been such a bright light in our lives.

All these folks leaving has really got me thinking about our future. We always knew where we are wouldn't be our forever home. Are we ready for such a leap? It will be a monumental effort to get where we would like to be. We have invested so much here. Gotten lazy in repairing issues like cracking from a drywall shift. There is so much to do here before it is in my eyes worthy for its next occupants.

I would be leaving my mom and a child to make this move? Do I have the heart? Strength? Courage? Grit? I love the idea of moving to our dream life, but am I ready to take the plunge? I seem to have a lot of soul searching to do. I wish this was a question with an easy answer.
