Our Long Italian Good-Bye
We've been out of the house for two weeks now and Italy is feeling less like home day-by-day. It's probably a good thing because this good-bye will be hard. Since April 2021 we have known that we'd be leaving Italy. We didn't over do it but we did have those moments where we said: this is our last Fall, our last Christmas, our last Spring. Oh, Spring. How I have loved you even more here in Italy! And since we had a year to prepare for the move back home, we thought a lot about what we'd like to do for final trips and events. How we'd like to say good-bye to our Italian neighbors and friends, who have been such a blessing these past five years.
