Hi friends. I haven't posted in a while. The future of our family vacation home/rental is in question by zoning after a 22 years in good standing.
I just wanted to share this post that came up today as it expresses all the good times our own family has enjoyed at the lodge. We have been blessed to share it with other families as well and hope to be "Grandfathered" now that a new STR( short term rental) ordinance is taking effect.
Regardless, you will be able to identify with the joy upon arrival and the lump in the throat at departure, It speaks to arrivals and departure in life too.

At the airport there;s a gate for arrivals where folks are usually ecstatic at the prospect of being reunited with a loved one while at another gate, tears are being shed dreading the separation of a departure of a loved one.

".It’s hard to say goodbye.

Every year, my family gathers to spend a week together in northern Michigan.
It’s our favorite place to be.
And we know, even with our busy lives and hectic schedules and all the things that pull us in all the directions, that we will have this week together.
We look forward to it.
We plan for it.
We talk about all the fun we will have once everyone arrives.
And once it does, we settle into our time together. We float in the water and cook s’mores by the fire and take sunset cruises. We talk and we laugh and sometimes we have to work stuff out, because we’re family. And that happens.
And before we know it, the week we have anticipated comes to an end.
We gather on the yard in front of the cottage and give hugs and inevitably—some of us cry.
As, one by one, we watch our loved ones drive their packed cars away. They always honk as they go and those of us who are left stand and wave, with tears rolling down our cheeks, while the kids run after the cars as they start to head down the road.
And in my heart, I give so much thanks. And I also say a prayer.
Because a lot can change in a year.
Tonight, the red cottage by the lake is a lot quieter than it has been. And I am missing my family members who left.
Because when we are in the company of those we love and our time together has come to an end, it’s hard to say goodbye.

PS Speaks to me of farewells here on earth, while there's joyful reunions in heaven. But we all have to go through "THE GATE" and Jesus said,
'I am the gate for the sheep. Whoever enters by me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. [...] I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.'
