The kids & I will be gone for a week. We have been given an unexpected gift: a chance to return to a cottage we thought we had said goodbye to forever. Our cousins made the very difficult sale a few years ago, so we said our farewells back then. But, it turns out, the new owner lived up to his promise to set aside time for them to spend there if they asked. Part of me is thrilled to be returning. But part of me knows it won't be the cottage I remember. . .
