The House on Blue Corner

It's been coming since the day we left Switzerland. I knew it was. But with all the unpacking , organizing and planning I was able to forget, at least temporarily, that I was going to feel desperately sad for the life I left behind. Next week is Swiss Promotion when all students are celebrated for having completed the school year. Our American equivalent celebrated only the star performers in athletics and academics. I was left with a sad heart for the children who were not recognized, my own included. A dear friend back in Switzerland just had a baby and I would love to go see her. The Geneva Writers' Group had their last meeting of the season on Saturday and I wasn't there. 

I know it will pass but, for now, you know where to find me.

    Knock, knock, may I come in? Let's have a cup of tea and chat.

    Love,
    Mum

    Oh, MM, we miss you too. I think someone or the other mentions you every time we meet. Once your life settles down in Peoria, it will get better. But you never do ever not get a pang when you think of wonderful times and people from the past do you? Life is strange.

    I agree with Jawahara...we miss you too. But once school starts you will have a whole new bunch of friends that won't replace your life here but will build a whole new set of memories...

    We miss you. Hope you have some fun plans for summer - a trip to Canada? Come September there will be a whole new wave of stuff to carry you on until you are more settle.

    Chin up and hit the guilty pleasures list.

    You'll have good days and bad days...even a year after the move (believe me). But time keeps ticking and you will make new memories with the girls and the hubby in P-town. It will get better.
