and I am taking the whole family. I haven't seen this son
in a year and it is making me miserable. I am having a
hard time adjusting to all my kids living in other states. I am feeling like I somehow got left behind.
My mom is quick to remind me that yes, she does indeed understand because I left and moved
away and took her grandkids to another state. Wow - talk about what goes around comes around!
I am just going to rack up a bunch of miles flying to go see them all. Life seems to be just flying by
but then on the other hand it seems like it is forever till I see my grandbabies again. Today is Kate's
4th birthday and I dreamed that I just got on a plane and flew to NC and found a big refrigerator box
which I wrapped myself in. Just goes to show you how much I am missing them. Mady turned 6
just last month and I missed it too. We are going to have cake and ice cream every night in the
Virgin Islands to celebrate all those missed days. I plan to soak up lots of sun and family - the family
makes me even warmer than the sun!
Here's to warm days ahead!
