When we moved to Tottenham we would see Toronto friends, but not too often. Traveling to Toronto with babies was a long adventure. When we moved to Ajax and no longer had babies, seeing Toronto friends was simple. When you find friends where there's a kid for every kid and the hubbies and the wives get a long really well, it's a match made in friendship heaven. That is until they move to Ottawa.
It was time for a change for John Inca's career and that meant relocating to Ottawa. They sold their house in the fall but rented another house and with the Pandemic and people working remotely, I didn't think they'd move until the spring, but then they bought a house in Ottawa and they gave up their lease in Toronto and all of a sudden they were coming in to pick up the rest of their stuff and this was it.
I'm not really ready to come to terms with them leaving. But here it is. We've been in second lock down since the winter break. We've seen my brother Andrew without masks in our home on Christmas, but that's it. We've been away or masked from the world, so when Emily told me they were coming back to get the last of their things did you want to hang out, the answer was YES!
Fiona is already asking when we can see them again. We're going to rent a cottage together in the summer, but beyond that, who knows. I keep telling her it isn't that far, but it is kind of far, and there's a pandemic. I know that they are forever friends, and that we will see them, but it won't be the same, and that's hard. Change is hard. We love you Lim-Andersons!!!
