I just heard news that is a long overdue answer to my prayers. I just heard from the neighbor across the street, that my neighbor lady is moving out-of-state. I acted surprised which I was, but she had no idea how I was truly feeling on the inside.
I am shaking, numb and realizing that I will have to be in my skin for the next several weeks until she has moved. There is no "for sale" sign in the yard yet, so I wouldn't have known if she hadn't told me.
I will take it day by day until it happens. Her kids are coming to help her move. I will need to just play it by ear until she is gone. After that, I can take the time to just allow myself to heal. I had even thought about moving myself, as I was so ready to no longer carry all that energy about her any longer.
My prayers have been answered!
