I had washed off my makeup, brushed my teeth, put on pjs and crawled into bed when my husband said he wanted to go up on the rooftop last night. It was almost 10:30 and I was very tired and ready to sleep, but my husband had a point, this could be the last time we enjoy a warm evening on the rooftop before we move.
Yesterday it was 18°c (65°f) outside!!! “Breaking the previous record of 64 degrees for Jan 12 set more than a century ago in 1890” the headline online said. Such beautiful night. We stood there under the full moon and stars (which is rare, you never see stars in nyc) and just loved life. Its sometimes unbelievable that we actually live in NYC, in Battery Park with the view of both the Statue of Liberty and the Freedom Tower.
I wasn’t prepared for leaving the city yet, I thought it would be like five more years or so, but in a way it feels good to move on. We have been lucky with an apartment we’ve loved, friendly neighborhood and living on Manhattan that has everything and I feel like I have done what you’re supposed to do here. We are grateful for the time we got here and its time for something new.
