While packing up the boxes to ship ahead of us to Cali, I have this sinking feeling that something is being forgotten. I've packed up the flowers, bouquet cake topper and garter. I've gone over lists and double checked them. Yet, I still feel like there was something in those lists that were forgotten. This may be something that I wind up feeling up until it's all over, and I'll either remember what it was or realize that I was going insane.
I'm probably going insane.
This week is Thanksgiving. It'll be interesting to see how this unfolds as I haven't spoken to the boy's aunt since his birthday in August. I really would like to avoid all drama and move on with life, being able to just enjoy the holidays as the holidays, but that isn't going to happen. At least not this year.
Or I'll be incredibly wrong and it won't be as bad as I'm prepping myself for. Though the news of us moving went pretty much exactly as I expected it would. One can hope that this doesn't get dragged out up until we actually do leave. I feel like we should be enjoying these lasts that are happening here, so we can embark on what will be a life of firsts for us. These should be the events that are laying down the foundations of the ability and want to connect going forward. Whether that be through Skype calls, FaceTime, VideoChat, or something that will keep us all connected. With the internet at our fingertips, thinking that a simple move is the end all be all is just sad and closed minded.
Families and traditions evolve and to think that they will be the same forever is unreasonable. There is so much to help keep family together, it just takes the want and the effort to actually do so.
