Goodbye





I had a goodbye party to Hawaii yesterday. 
It was kind of a birthday/farewell adventure and I wanted to do it alone.
So I packed my backpack, and walked to town.

I did everything I love to do here.
I bought Green Apple Hi-chews, Subway, and Cream Soda.
Later I got Malasadas from the cute red van. They are my favorite.

Then I walked to Temple Beach,
I called my sisters, and read Victorian poetry.

I stayed there all day not wanting to leave, ever.
It was such a perfect day.
And even though I feel ready to go sometimes,
My heart felt heavy on the walk home.

I think I'll always love you Hawaii.
Thanks for letting me come and play.

sounds like a wonderful goodbye party. poetry parties are the best, even with just one guest.

What an amazing day alone on the beach. Wow. Enjoy that time alone. Someday you will look back and cry lots and lots of tears. Especially when you have a house full of kids someday. Love you Mandy!
