Goodbyes are so very hard...

“Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends leave footprints in your heart."– Eleanor Roosevelt

Dear friends leave today for his new job in Georgia. He is leaving his family behind to finish school and sell their home. They plan to join him in June. Kristin has been their baby sitter for 4 or 5 years now. I have listened to him on the radio for nearly all 9 of the years we've lived here. She was Kristin's L/D nurse when she gave birth to Leah, was suppose to be there for Blake...and if there is any way possible, has vowed to be back here when she delivers Blake.

I am sitting here, in tears, wondering how my daughter is holding up. She went to see them--is taking care of Sadie while the family takes him down and gets him settled. She doesn't do goodbyes well at all...and, well, neither do I, which is why I am home.

I have a dear high school friend in the same town they are going to, and she's promised to take care of them. And, I know she will do a great job of it! She also has a couple of teen girls the right age to serve as their baby sitter, so they'll be all set up.

But, when you know and love someone as much as we know and love The Brandons, it is so very hard to let go.

Those types of good-byes ARE so very hard!

Thank you Beverly for your thoughts and for your prayers. This has been difficult, that's for sure. The hardest thing is that with technology the way it is now, this little station he has gone to hasn't put the ability to listen to their station online yet. Oh, but that is one of Josh's first projects! YAY for those of us who refuse to listen to the station here that he use to be with.

His wife and children arrived back last night. Now goes the waiting until school is out part for us...the part where, well, we have to say good-bye to them as well.

That, my friends, will KILL my daughter!
