I had a few surprises today.
Delaware was sick two nights ago and it still lingers but he's getting better.
These angels hung on the porch at our front door for twelve years. The color was slowly leached away by the hot morning sun. Today I finished resurrecting them to their former brilliance and they are back watching over the front door.
Krista is returning home; the house she is living in is being sold.
Don said a temporary good-bye
Walk away swiftly.

I hate to give a good-bye
Kiss. Embrace. A smile.

You 'resurrected' them - lol......they are lovely, as are you words.....
good byes seem more heavy laden as the years pass. may delaware find his happy place and keep you company, may bright angels grace your door, may krista find her happy place too and don travel safe and return to a long embrace and countless kisses!
I can relate to your feeling about good-byes.
All change for you then Annie, this seems to be the pattern of life in later years. Your angels received some TLC, Delaware too, all's well, enjoy your time with Krista. x
Walk away swiftly...I'm with you there...
All those days of coming and going...
Soon we will miss them too.
I also have angels around the door and in the garden, I need somebody to watch over our home.
Yours were nicely restored.
Your haiku captured the pain of goodbyes beautifully!
The angels look beautiful - so your daughter is returning home. I've had a few sons do that but I think now they have all flown the next for good. I am just now experiencing empty nest syndrome i think.
Nice job on the angels. You've been a busy woman in Don's absence. Will he recognize it all when he returns?!
