They are really gone, the best neighbors EVER! Today the Koch's moved. Yes they are close by, yes we will see them, but definitely no it will never be the same again. I will miss hearing Ava, "Can I come in?". "Of course you can". "She said I could come in mama." I can still hear Ava screaming, "KE-KO-KA" when we first brought him home from the hospital. I will also miss Hailey knocking on the screen door to say hi. I will miss knowing that someone else is home during the day. There is a certain reassurance, knowing that Cassie was there in case I needed something, and I often did! It was so wonderful to have them come visit us at all times during the day and to be able to go and visit them too.
Kekoa already misses them. He looked in their window today and saw that things were packed up and gone. He said, "bye bye", fussing and crying, not understanding why he couldn't go over to play. It is so weird to have their apartment all dark and empty. We were all very blessed to have had each other for neighbors as long as we did. It has been wonderful becoming friends through our babies, a very special thing. We will miss you guys so much but are so incredibly happy for you and your new place!
oh, goodness. make me cry! we miss you terribly. :(
