My bags are packed, I'm ready to go...

It was the last day Lulu Francine would be in the little house she shared with the man who held the key to her heart, Archibald Conklin. All her belongings were packed in the moving van, and Lulu and her broken heart were packed too.

The only thing left to do, was to kiss her true love Archibald goodbye...

...which was going to be the most unbearable of moments for Lulu, but it was, after all, what Archibald said he wanted. 

A Little Bird Told Me...

Lulu spent years feeding her beloved birds out in the yard.  It was a hobby she was passionate about. Daily she would shout out to Archibald..."Come see what lovely bird is in our yard today!"  Archibald would rise out of his easy chair and say..."Here I come my love!" Together they would gaze out the window at whatever bird Lulu delighted in.

But with the split of Lulu and Archibald just days away, Lulu had to tell her bird friends that she would no longer be able to feed her little friends because her new home didn't allow for feeding the birds.

When Lulu said good buy to her bird friends, a little yellow finch expressed out loud the very thought all of Lulu's friends had about Archibald's leaving Lulu...

"This is Bullshit!"

At the end of the day...the cupboard was going to be bare...

Lulu couldn’t help wondering how she was going to get past missing Archibald every day for the rest of her life.

You see, Lulu had always looked forward to coming home to her beloved Archibald. She’d open the door to their shared world and see him and her face would light up every time.

A reality check reminded Lulu  that at the end of the day in her new home, there would be no Archibald waiting to see her smile and in her heart of hearts she knew being without Archibald was going to be pretty much unbearable and lonely as hell.

In the privacy of her new home, Lulu practiced smiling in order to keep up appearances.

AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH...

Lulu and Archibald had a song…

”Aint No Mountain High Enough…” 

sung by Michael McDonald.

With Archibald in the wind, Lulu figured the only kind of 'high enough 'she was ever going to get to in the future 

… was to make it the top of the stairs where she lived.
