Sadness...

My darling girls are losing friends to distance this week..   They aren't losing the friendships, love, affection and joy these friends brought, but losing the physical presence of this family will be so very hard.


 I find myself so sad over the thought of not seeing them again. Knowing we won't see them on Fridays, that the boy's won't be able to come over, hang out and make me glad that my daughters have such fine, morally grounded young men as such good friends... If I had to hand pick boys for my girls to become friends with, I couldn't choose better young men. And their little sister has become my girls favorite little person (I think more so than their niece even!)


I wish we had more time with them. I wish we had the past 5 years to spend with them. I know that wouldn't make the parting any easier, but then we would have so many more good memories.

We have been trying to squeeze so many 'moments to remember' into such a short time.. 

Friday will be hard, our last gathering, last hugs, last time spent together.  But we can look forward to visits hopefully, Perhaps for the prom.

I am happy for their family, they are going home.. back to where their family is.

We love you, and will miss you Graves family..   probably much more than you know.
