It’s been days since I read the letter. I put it away safely in a box, the same box I kept the memorabilia in from when we were young and in love. Every time I think of those days I often wonder if it would be the same now. It has been so long. I have no idea what he has been up to. Was he married? Is he married? Does he have children? He didn’t say any of that in the letter. It is the same box that has traveled with me for as long as I can remember. Every time I moved, it came with me. I made sure to keep it safe and secure. My husband thought it was a box filled with old family photos. I had to lie. He would have never understood. The same box I have gone to from time to time to just sit with my thoughts. And, now it is the box that holds a very important part of my future, or my past. I am still unsure. Sometimes the past needs to just stay where it is. Maybe this was finally the closure I have been wondering about all along. We had a couple encounters and we both decided to let them go. Will there be a third? Now, it’s up to me and it’s not something I need to decide right now. Divine timing will be on our side. I just know it. If it’s meant to be, that is.

The weekend came pretty quickly. Friday’s meeting with all the homeschooling Mommas went great. It was going to be a great school year. We had all our trips planned out as well as group classes where we would all take turns teaching the subject we were best at. We figured that would take a lot of the pressure off one another. We wouldn’t have to worry about not being that great at a certain subject and teach what we knew best. We really are a great group together, I am very grateful and blessed for these women. It’s like it was just meant to be this way. I got all sappy with them and shed a few tears. They have become my closest friends in such a short time. It’s so nice to be part of such an amazing community.

Now to get ready for the official last weekend of summer. My sister was bringing the tents for the kids to sleep in. I’m still unsure how that will go but I promised them all we would try. I know that one loud animal noise is going to send them all running into the house screaming. I can just picture it now.  At that point, my sisters and I figured they would all just camp out into the living room. They will have a blast together no matter what. They always do.

I heard the cars pull up into the driveway and at the same time my kids came running downstairs. It sounded like a freight train, they were running so fast.  They were probably on FaceTime most of the car ride up here which is why they knew exactly when they were going to be pulling up. Technology these days, gotta love it! My Momma walks in and took one look at me and said, “You are glowing. The only time I see that glow on you is when there is a man involved or you are pregnant.” I rolled my eyes, saying “MOM” really loud and quickly hugged her and changed the subject until one of the kids said, “There was someone in our driveway last month and Momma has been weird ever since. Then we saw some guy looking at us at the lake.” My eyes quickly went wide and once again, I changed the subject. I said, “Oh, you mean the guy that pulled into the wrong driveway that day?  Yea, we saw him a few times here and there. It’s no big deal.”  I realized in that moment that my kids weren’t all sleeping like I thought. I also realized they are just as intuitive as their Momma and they know a lot more than I think they do.

Until next time…

Love & Light, Always!
