Over the last couple months I've packed up my family, most cherished household items and special mementos. Everything else we sold or donated. Then last Saturday December 15th, my little family of three relocated to California.
We shipped most things and drove our two cars filled up with everything else. We were on the road for 4-ish long days.
On Tuesday night, December 18th, on the side of the road in New Mexico, I found out my father had died. While it was sudden, it was not completely unexpected. He'd been in poor health while struggling mightily with addiction.
It's still not real. I suspect it never will be.
Yesterday as I crossed into California, I made a phone call to heaven...
Hey Daddy, it's Wednesday afternoon, December 19th. I finally made it back to California to live! I guess I just missed you. I love you the most, Juj
