Parting is such sweet sorrow!

With mixed feeling, last night, I bid adieu to Seamus, MamaBear and PapaBear.

My time with them was magical beyond words. I will forever hold the experience in my heart to revisit whenever I want for sweet dreams. As I said in an earlier post, bearing witness to the birth of my grandson was wondrous experience. I have 3 grandsons. Each has given me the richness that fills my heart with warmth. When I think of Seamus, I will recall the moments holding this, as Auntie Teri referrs to him, the wee Seamus... in my arms... so fragile and trusting, the smell of his hair, the way he snuggles against the body without reserve. My memories are endless.

Thank you Greta and Jim for allowing me to tend to all your needs this past week. It has been a true honor.
I now leave you to the much required and respected need, and nature order of being alone, just you 3.

I would like to report that Greta and Jim are a true team. They have worked together to tend to all of Seamus' needs since his entry to this earthly plane. He will be well cared for and truly loved. Verklempt now! Ah.

As Cliff and I were trundling my belongings to our car to journey back to CT, we mused a bit of how it would be to live in "the city". I do love the area that "The Blau's" live in... streets small in nature, people bustling about, a bit of a village atmosphere.

"verklempt now" -- us too!

having you here was the best ... the wise and comforting presence of the matriarch. (okay, so mimi is the *real* matriarch ... but you're a strong second-string matriarch.)

keep musing about moving to the city!!

unfortunately, though we would love it, i think this fantasy would last only long enough for cliff to check out the housing prices. :-)
