Farewell to One

This past weekend the Chicago 5 had a bittersweet little get-together.   Avery sent me out the door with a "have fun with your friends mommy!"  *sigh*


We are losing a member.   Off to Denver.

So, while I believe change should often be embraced and faced with great enthusiasm, we are selfishly saddened by what I feel is such a loss.  

As friends become sisters over the years, bonds become unbreakable.  In today's age, emails and texts maintain relationships in odd ways but make it possible to have a regular presence in someone's life, despite geographical distance.  And we know she will come back to us.

So the only thing we knew was to send her off Chicago-style.  Simple.  Chicago.  The 5.


Oh we'll miss you Melissa, but Denver will be an amazing chapter in your life.  A time you will look back on so fondly.  A time of growth and great and happy and joy.

I can't wait for you to look back on all of these Denver memories with a smile.  And in the comfort of your Chicago home.  :)


so much for new years resolutions 


just going and leaving us  :( 



xoxo
