Yesterday morning we said goodbye to our babysitter. Janice has been a huge part of who my children have become. Her love and Christian example have sure formed my kiddos and made my career as a teacher possible. Saying goodbye was not easy.
Carly had a final playdate with her 3 best buddies and went and saw a movie. I have been thankful for all three of them, and their Moms. My hopes are the girls will be lifelong friends, despite the distance. As I type, Carly is still with her buddy Peyton. They are having a final sleepover. My prayer is that Carly will find another group of friends similar to this special circle, although noone will replace them.
Finally, Jack and Maddie and I had a final swim with our pals the Greens. Jack and Callie have such a great relationship, they truly are linked in spirit. I am not sure how my friendship with their mother changed over the past year and a half, but I will always consider her a close friend. And Tyler, he is such a cutie. I will miss seeing those two grow up. Thankfully, technology will help prevent that completely!
Goodbyes are so hard... I fear the hardest will come next Friday, as we say goodbye to the two people who have sheltered my sweet family for the last 9 weeks. As we start the packing up process and getting things ready, I do not think there is much that will prepare us for that difficult goodbye.
