Saying Goodbye

Sitting at my desk in the front room watching as a container full of stuff belonging to our neighbours two doors down who are moving to Adelaide is loaded on the back of a truck.. Had a farewell party for them last night with pizzas and cake and a little speech and some tears. Saying goodbye for now to a lovely family who are wonderful friends. Feeling a little sad which leads me back to my story and the funeral which Ruby still hasn't made it to.
Sunshine coming in the open window onto my hands and chest, the sound of the truck rumbling right outside, chains rattling as the blokes secure the huge metal box on to the truck and knowing that I still have to say the last goodbye to my friends and their three kids.................for now anyway.
