The time has come to say more "Goodbyes" for a while...
Driveway Goodbye # 1
We went to Indiana and spent some time with Mom. Wish she could have gone to the airport with us. But her and I both probably could not have handled it. I cried so much just driving away from her house. It was very difficult to leave her alone without Dad. It has been just over 6 months since he passed away. There is a big space is our lives that he used to fill with he humor, smiles and love.
We all miss him so very much.
I had a beautiful Peace Lily plant that my cousin Jason Cree sent for the funeral. I took it to mom for safe keeping. :0) The first week here in Jeddah I bought I new one. I think of you both every time I look at my Peace Lily.
Then two days later, it felt like my heart was being ripped out of me as we said another driveway goodbye... this time to Abraham. In the back of my mind I was thinking "Is this what my mom was feeling?" Love you Mom. Miss you tons.
Driveway Goodbye #2
It was very wise of Abraham to say goodbye here. At first I didn't like it. It was one less hour or so that I could spend with him. This was better. There is always a lot of paperwork, questions, fuss when you show up to check -in with a massive amount of baggage. We had 12 suitcases. Four carryons and 4 bags. We had to spend lots of time at the counter. Solomon and David working hard to heft all that baggage. My heart would have not cared one bit about taking care of any of it.
I would have only wanted to look at and be with my boy. So we each shed our tears, gave our bear hugs and words of love and parting here in the driveway
We also said goodbye to the "Corbinos". :0)
The wonderful Liz & Craig and crew that will be keeping Abe, feeding, guiding and loving on him this year as he finishes his senior year at Fairfield High School.
I am already counting down the days until we are together again in December.
At the airport - Goodbye #3
Gordon & Bee took us to the airport. Gordon dropped us and our pile of baggage at the curb. Then dwelt with parking both of the vehicles. Bee came in side and helped look after our stuff and the kids as David & I spent a long time at the counter. We had a great agent who helped us save about $1200 by figuring out a way to not make us pay both airlines separately for our bags and get everyone a slice of the$600 baggage fee that we did pay.
