and today is the last day
for a while
that we all will be together
and we will share every minute of it
before heading on down the road
each in our own direction
and we know
we’ll find our way back together again
before too long
and i wish that this day could go on forever.
—
maximize every opportunity today. there is a lot of living and loving that can be done in 24 hours.Â

Yes I do! The sidewalk was such an original idea, too, Beth! Rather than a riding out into the sunset, the road leading off, or the plane taking off…

Every minute counts Beth. When I left my mum a couple of weeks ago, it broke my heart a little and each separation breaks it a little bit more. It was really difficult for her to watch her grandchildren walk away after a month together. We are too far away; continents apart…
