Saying Goodbye to Loved Ones.

I didn’t want to leave. There’s an abundance of all things good in Oakland, and it tugged at my heart to say goodbye. This first picture captures two of my fur babies: Johnnie and Sugar. Those eyes asking me, where are you going, Mom? Then my goodbye lunch with Magnus. Yes, I cried. I found an excuse to say goodbye to Annette, my beloved seamstress. My support crew, whose kindness brought tears to my eyes, again! Finally, almost on the plane. Then the rain in Denver. Little did I know at that moment that this sweet rain would be the source of endless problems for me.
