Always...

The Hardest...

Leaving...

A Trip...

Down Memory Lane...

 Past the public dock...

Cross the no-longer Covered Bridge...

To a special spot...now with an address...

 Along the Siuslaw River...

 By the giant maple tree...

 From which we'd swing out over the water and drop...

 Where a different home and a new dock now sits...

 Our Mapleton Cabin!

Childhood memories...

And a piece of my Heart remain.

Saying...

Goodbye...

Until next time...

Leaving a piece of my heart!!!!!

Road Trip...

Cannon Beach...

 And Mother Ocean...

 Calm my heavy heart...

And I begin to... 

Let go!

Celebrating Brook...

Off to Monroe...

 To make a party...

 And give some cousin hugs...

 The birthday girl gets some Daddy snuggles...

There's a cousins tea party...

 And some cake preparations... 

 Then Jayde & Huck head outside...

 For a Gator ride...

 Around the yard...

 And a zip-line lesson...

 Huck's got the hangin' part figured out...

 But needs a hand from Jayde...

Before he can fly!

Cousin Fun!!!!

More...

Changes...

 The earth is moving...

 And transforming...

 Our world...

 We're missing...

 Our quiet spots...

Trying hard to...

Let go!!!
