We did it! We got the apartment packed and all of it into storage except what we needed here. As I looked at the storage unit one last time, until we unpack it to move it here, I couldn't believe it all fit. As we were packing it, Dad had to keep telling me " it will all go!" Mom and I discussed it on the way home, it would not have worked if we had put the boys beds and Beth's things in there. We were lucky that she needed and took all of her furniture to Derek's house.
As we left Trinidad, of course the tears flowed. It was very hard to say goodbye to all my friends and the "family" we had made in the 14 years we were there. Leaving Trinidad was as it had been when we moved there. I remember those first few years, I was so miserable without my family and my friends, that I begged David to take me home. Now I would give anything to be staying there. Don't get me wrong, I am glad to be here with my family and those friends I still have here, but there is nothing like small town life. The closeness with those friends and our church family is such a heart warming thing it will be hard to be without that. But I know that just as I got used to life in those first years, I will adjust to life in the big city again. For now, it seems overwhelming and suffocating but it will get better, part of that will come thru prayer.
Goodbye Trinidad!! We will miss all our friends, please keep in touch!
God Bless you all!
