*Love* I'm so sad you're going to be so far away. I want to see you before you go and I hope we can make that happen but if we can't, know I am reaching across the divide with all the zen hugs and care. I hate that these are all lasts for you. And... what the fuck is it with the foot thing, that's exactly what I'm dealing with here and I hate it. Hope yours gets better soon.
Having moved along lot in my life as well, I can commiserate with you. The one thing that I have learned is to slow down and take a last look at the moment, because you can never go back. Things change people change. The memories remain. Many locations will no longer exist if you return. They will only exist as Rutger Hauer put it "like tears in the rain"
I was hoping the next post would be, it’s not REALLY happening. I 100% feel your pain. The no mountains, would be a thing for me too. I spent 7 days in Arizona visiting my sister last month and by day 5 I wanted to see something green. And don’t point to a damn cactus, it doesn’t count!! Trees, people, I need an honest to goodness pine tree.
Even optimists get sad. It's okay. You are having LOTS of Big Emotions right now, and you need to sit with them (as you are), and feel them (you can't help that), and acknowledge they are happening so you can move forward (which you will).
The one thing you can look forward to is the Taco scene will become more plentiful. I hope. May the tacos of love keep coming your way.
I feel for you. Having moved around a LOT growing up, and even as an adult, I don't feel the trauma (anymore) of leaving people and places behind. But I totally understand the sadness that comes with saying goodbye to people and things that are familiar and feeling somewhat adrift.
We're living in weird times, that's for sure. I just left the metaverse. Because I just can't anymore. I'm on Mastodon and available via email and text (or signal) now. Yes, I know it will definitely change my worldview, but... i can't do it anymore. Not with *gestures wildly* going on.
I hate that you are moving with a passion. I will miss our impromptu giggle sessions and my snuggles with the big guy (pork chop, that is. Unless J learns to lean on my foot). I can come up and help you pack. We can commiserate over shakes, smoothies, and tacos.

I am so sorry. 😭

Hugs. That’s all. Hugs and more hugs. And a taco.
*hugs* I've just been sick for the past.. well since the year rolled over. Woke up with an awesome head cold that's just dragging.
Coming to terms with goodbyes is not ever easy. I wish you good luck and an all you can eat taco fest.

Love you!
If you do this thing ^^ a) give her (and porkchop) another set of hugs from me and b) eat a taco for me.
Will do!
