I HATE goodbyes. I don't do them well. I just had to say goodbye again to my west coast daughter and son-in-law. On this side, it seems we're always having to say goodbye to someone. I am so thankful for cell phones and modern technology, but it still is hard to say goodbye.
It reminded me again that we're on this side(not that I need a reminder). When we're on that side the Bible says, "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." I'm sure this also includes no more goodbyes.
But for now, I'll busy myself, dry my tears and finish getting ready for church. Life goes on for each of us, but a piece of my heart is enroute to the west coast.
aw Mom, you're too awesome and I love you so much! We had a great time at home. I'm glad that even while I was sick we could still lounge and hang out together. 8-10 more weeks and you WILL be enroute to the west coast! Until then, we'll keep chatting at lunch or on my way home from work. Thanks for everything you did to make this trip so special! Your worth is far more than rubies! (p.s. you might be wondering how I am typing this bc I am in the airport.. and I am...we just found this really nice USO to hang out in until we fly out! Love you, Jess
