Sad, Empty and Lonely

When I returned from Fredricton in June, these people had disappeared.
These are the people who never knocked before entering. They rang the cow bell or just burst in. These are the people who would drop in for dinner, lunch, breakfast or anytime inbetween just for a good chat.
These are the people who were comfortable enough to sleep, work or eat here so, conversely, I felt the same. These were the people who became my family.
Just when I thought I was maybe starting to adjust to the fact that they were all gone...


This one left....

It has been such a blessing to have him here. I will miss all the laughter, the listening ears, the goofing off, the long conversations, the music. Really Josh, you have become so much more than a brother - you have become a dear friend.

When I think about the last few days with Josh, AmyLou, Marie and Justin all gone, empty and sad are the words that come to mind. All of you have left big holes. As time goes on the holes in my social calender will slowly be filled but there will always be a spot for you in my heart and house, even if you have to sleep in the closet!

Thank-you for who you are, for who you've been and for always loving me. You are terribly missed!
