Maya Angelo wrote, "I sustain myself with the love of family.' I know exactly what she meant and I agree. All of you have welcomed me into your homes and treated me so well. I am so grateful that I am your mother and grandmother. I especially wanted to acknowledge the generosity and love extended to me since I moved into the Whitney's home and set up shop! During this time I have never once been made to feel unwanted or that I was in anyone's way. I know that I did impose and I was in their way on a number of occasions but they truly extended love and patience at every turn. Tomorrow I will leave behind the warmth and security I have felt and become a grown up again. I am scared. I am sad. I am excited. I am hopeful. I am 70 years old and hopefully I have many years ahead of me. I hope that I will learn how to do "alone time" well! Christian told me that I would always be welcome to come back and I knew that he meant it. Thank you my Arizona family for allowing me to be part of all of you! Thank you Amy for being you!
