28 years

Last Friday, august 22nd, was my/our 28th wedding anniversary.
We've had a great 4 days celebrating with family and friends.

As we now drive home from Seattle, my mind vasillates from the past to the future.
I think of our friends, Nick & Marsha, who we've known for 18+ years and shared so many great adventures with,
And I wonder why they have to move to Florida?

Why Florida?
Why so far away?

We met in Wichita what seems like a lifetime ago. Our families intermingled and shared in so much fun.

When we moved to Kearney, it was hard, but 5 hours of driving distance between us was manageble.
They moved to Seattle, a little farther distance, but we managed to stay in touch largely due to Nick being a pilot and being able to fly to see us.
Then we moved to Salem narrowing the distance to a 4 hour drive or a 1 hour flight.

Now... It appears they will move to Florida.

Jobs change.
People move.
Life takes new shape.

But I know the bond remains, always.
