Ahh, back from my trip…now I’m rushing to get classes completed, projects into their next development phase, websites up and running, caught up on personal stuff..oh did I mention my personal and parental stuff? lol.
Nevertheless, Savannah was what I expected and all I didn’t expect! Let me just add that I thanked my Mother and Father for allowing me the time to spend with “them”. I still here the echoes of my father saying to my mother, “It’s not even about you!” While we waited hours for her to dress before departure! In all truth, our impatience to get on with our journey was really just that…getting on with our life journey, finding closure, learning new information about the old ways of the South, experiencing the new familial nuances we never had together.
I must say out of all the sights, pics, restaurants, shopping we did or didnt do enough of, what stood out for me were the walks and laughter and the echoes of “My Mom and Dad and Me!” and living that experience, the laughter and joy of simply being together.
And what started out as a homecoming trip to Savannah to reunite with my larger family turned into a trip to simply unite with the land and my nucleus that exists in the larger bowl of life in the lowlands of Georgia.
Our history together was created and I was given something far more valuable than anything I could have imagined. Real closure of a broken family, and a powerful sense of wholeness rooted in knowing some history of my Savannah Georgia family.
(stay tuned, more to come….)
