While laughing in the car as Brittany and I pulled away from Brae Cove (our cabin) for the last time I looked back watching it fade into the distance. A few windows were flooded with light as the hustle and bustle continued on the inside with preparations of home--I will miss this place. I will miss the golden light that welcomed me every morning, the evenings by the fireplace talking, laughing. I will miss sitting at the dock listening to the loons in the distance, the walks through the woods and realizing getting lost wasn't necessarily a bad thing. I will even miss the cool crisp evenings, although I know it's only a matter of time before the changing season arrives home. It was so beautiful there, so serene, but what I'll miss the most and bring home with me more than anything else are my friends. Whether I knew them or not going in, each played a part of my experience at squam and it wouldn't be what it was without them. But I'm sure you know what that feels like, to meet someone for the first time and days later feel like you've known them forever. Makes you wonder, were we always meant to be friends?
Although my trip was everything I hoped it would be, right now my thoughts are of home. I can't wait to be there with Adam, to put my arms around him and my girlies, to be surrounded by familiarity, and get back to the everydayness of taking care of those waiting for me back home. Only five hours to go!
Thank you squam for giving me that much need break and reminding me just how much I love the life I've chosen.
