Rooster left bright and early this morning, leaving one chicklet at home.
It was hard to see him go after he’d been home for about a month.
I don’t feel that I got to see him much, though, because I had to work two weeks after he got home, and by the time I got home each afternoon, he was out visiting with friends. Then, after Christmas, he house/dog sat for one of his friends, which meant he only came home for a couple of hours each day.
At least he made some $$, but boy, was it hard only seeing him pop in every now and then.
Still, at least he was in the same zip code, and I could surprise him with lunch or Starbuck a time or two.
In less than nine hours, I’ll be bidding adieu to the other chicklet.
Sigh.
I hate this part of my children’s visits home, and I doubt that I will ever fully get used to it.
No matter how much they’re home it is never enough. Mine left yesterday…I am better than I used to be, but every time the reality strikes me afresh-my kids are grown up and only home to visit. Hugs!
It’s hard letting them grow up sometimes, isn’t it! My daughter leaves next Monday and will have been home for a month. But during that time she took a trip to Tennessee and a trip to Georgia and numerous sleepovers with friends. However, we’ve enjoyed the time we have had her with us. Love having her home, but I’m okay when she leaves because I know she is happy and is doing what she wants and that eases this mother’s heart. 🙂
Take care.
