Change Sucks

Jun 09, 2014 08:22

Sometimes. My neighbors are gems. They have lived next to us for..must I do the math...4 decades. Yea. My whole life. They are perfect people, pretty kids, kind, genuine. Norman Rockwell. I think the world of them as much as I am fascinated by them. I am the anti-Norman. I'd love to be like them but alas.

They are now "getting up their in years". The dad health is declining and they are going to move into an assisted living home. I have no idea this would affect me so much.

I find something comforting living next to them. As though, perfection is somehow possible. Make sense?

Not to mention my sadness of seeing their health decline. Of course I think of my own parents. Is this our future? I can't let my mind go there. Because who the hell knows. Why worry about something that might not come to be.

In the meantime, I drive by the house and see the for sale sign. And feel angry, sad, bummed out, what's the word, I don't know.

Just unhappy.

Bye, family. I miss you already.

Change, sometimes you just really irritate me.

Nothing is permanent. There is both comfort and sadness in this, isn't there.

:(

farewell
