But as you said, I'm glad the move has officially arrived, so that the in-between period can end and the next stage can begin. I think (and hope) that it will have some good outcomes--maybe in more surprising ways than you could ever have imagined prior to moving. Sending lots of love your way.

As Nilsa said, this is just a blip on the radar screen and I know that ultimately you will be somewhere you love, living the fabulous life you deserve.<br /><br />Also, as you know, I've always wanted to visit Minneapolis so pencil me in for summer/fall 2014 because I know you'll be back there by then and can host me!

But, I feel like you've been so open about this big life change and the stress it's put on your life ... and I've shared the "life is so unfair to the nicest of people" sentiment ... and, well, I know it's hard not to be bitter and sad ... but, I know you well enough to know you're going to shine (who needs the sun for that!!!) and this little blip on your life radar is going to open up new doors and opportunities that will lead you to the rest of your life.

And yes, the limbo will be over. That always adds to the stress. <br /><br />You are tough, lovely, generous, thoughtful, insightful and gracious -- those are all qualities you have shown and that will help you along your way. There are moments when I think it will be harder for those in your immediate Minneapolis orbit to cope with your departure than for you. Maybe a little of both.<br /><br />Onward, my friend. You will find that time does indeed fly.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-78138406393426717612013-04-05T12:34:06.291-05:002013-04-05T12:34:06.291-05:00Excellent wording.

Charlotte is an unexpected bump in the road and, though you may never grow to love the South, I'm hopeful it will lead to more experiences and happiness. It will be tough, but you have all the support of your family and the blog world to help you during this time! I can't imagine how difficult this must be.
