Farewell, again...

As the day of the move arrived we were very sad. There were many tears. Jakob was crying as he was leaving the school. The kids and their parents had a good-bye party for him and gave him an album with the pictures of all his class mates. Every child made something for him. It was heart breaking to separate them… Our friends cried, we cried…but the truck was waiting and I think I did not have time to really say bye to our beach house. It was rainy and a big storm the night before had knocked down many trees when we arrived in New Jersey. Our son, who just has a great attitude, said while we were crossing the Tappan Zee bridge: “Mom, I smell home”. And he was laughing! My good boy! And you would not believe it, but there was even a rainbow. I just took it as a good sign.
