Marin, California Nov 2015 - May 2019 - "Final Dawn"
There is a kind of magicness about going
far away and then coming back all changed.

The day arrived. Final exit from "our"
driveway, and leaving of "our" street, our
neighborhood. Dear neighbor drove us.
Goodbye, Pacheco Pond,
Golden Gate Bridge. Likely I will
never cross you again. Going home.
No intention to ever leave again.
Hawaii.

All roads lead home as home
is where the heart is.
So Love. Simply Love.
For love is home to all of us.

VERY complicated procedure to bring
even an island born pet home!
Multiple tests, vet visits, and messengered
official paperwork for the State!
Every detail scrutinized, double checked.
Or Pixie would be incarcerated on return.
For months. The State office at HONO
that handles such matters was
peopled by sad folks after long flights,
who just didn't know!
Children separated from pets! Adult
children separated from theirs, sadly.
At last a State veterinarian carrying
Pixie and a thick sheaf of documents
with our name on it appeared.
All in order! Happy Day!!!
We left the sad people,
an intact family for the
final leg of this epic journey:
Waikiki.
It was his home now. But
it could not be his home till he had
gone from it and returned to it.
Now he was the Prodigal Son.

What Hawaiian Airlines played on the plane. Whenever I hear it, I'm onboard!
