Moving on.
It has been a while since my last post. Lots of changes are afoot. I will try to write more about it when I have the time, but the short version of the story is that we are leaving San Francisco -- at least for now -- and relocating to Madrid, Spain for a year. I have a lot of complicated feelings about saying goodbye to San Francisco. We've been here just about four years now. It has been a life-changing four years, many times over, in both good ways and bad. San Francisco made me grow up, beat me up, picked me up, made me strong, made me weak. For better or worse, we're now parting ways.
Remembering.
Since we knew we were leaving the west coast for at least a year, D and I decided to spend our summer vacation in Hawaii, while it's still only a few hours' flight away. Every year on Memorial Day, there is a floating lantern festival in Honolulu to honor lost loved ones. Anyone can participate. So we went, and spent the evening remembering. Here are some photos.
Mila,
It feels right that we should remember you here in Hawaii. We have been here together before, and it will always remind us of you. You have seen dolphins here, visited green sand beaches here, and swum in the ocean here.
We miss you and always wonder who you would be today, a big sister to Isla and Schmorgy. You will always be in our hearts, and will always be our little Nuggsy.
Love and love and love for always,
Mama and Dada
