Goodbye is too hard

My Mom left us today to go home. I've cried a few times. I think it has something to do with pregnancy because I'm not usually so emotional. But, it also has to do with the fact that I'm so far away from my family support system that I'm used to. The support is always there, just in a different way now.

She was here for 2 weeks and it just wasn't long enough! :D It kind of reminded me of the awesome sour patch kid commercials - sour. sweet. gone. - except in a different order = sweet. gone. sour.





I feel like I'm now running into a wall even though it doesn't look like there should be one there.  I need people to serve to pull me back into my own routine - any takers? really.


To Mumsy, I have to say thank you! We had so much fun and worked so hard to get a lot done! It would have taken me a month to do all the yard work we did this week. I can't thank you enough! I LOVE YOU!

And to Preston, thanks for being here for me. Unfortunately, you're not the same support as my mom, so hang in there while I get back to "normal." You are so good to me. I LOVE YOU!

To Brayden, I seriously love watching you play with your Grandy. You adore her so much! I love how you would go looking for her in the morning. You're going to miss her too and I'll try so hard to be what you need me to be. I LOVE YOU!

Brinley said "Pa" for DAYYYYYYS after my parents left. For some reason, it was easier to say Grandpa than Grandpa. My Mom was NOT impressed ;-) My dad loved it.

oh, the pregnancy hormones! Just have a few good cries and it will be fine. At least you are only a short plane ride away from your support systems!

Ang, that is so sweet what you said. I miss you and B and P. I have to admit, I've cried as well, having to leave. It was so fun and so great to be there with you, but you're right, it wasn't long enough! You are always so gracious, kind and fun. It is so hard having my girls so far away. I love you! Hang in there.

Sweet Angie...very nice sentiments to your "grand"mom.

You are awesome and are loved by many in many places...even on the other side of the world.

I wish I could give you a hug right now.

Love, Dad
