Aug 1 06: moving day
My sister’s family is on the way to the airport. The cat has been sedated for the flight to Minneapolis; the furniture is on a truck that pulled away from their little house on Long Island yesterday.
We grew up in San Francisco. I left the West Coast in 1988 and never really looked back. I got used to not having family within 3,000 miles of here. So having my little sister, whom I adore, and her charming husband move out here about five years ago was a real gift. And then they had these amazing kids, see, and… and being an uncle is the greatest thing ever. Being the sort of uncle who could nip out for a weekend at their house was indescribable.
But now they have a new job, and a new house, in a new state. These are wonderful things. These things will improve their quality of life tremendously.
I miss them already.
