Absence Makes the Heart Grow Founder


While I was having an amazing time in Seattle with the Gottula's, Brad sent me a text that expressed how much he loved and missed me. He also said, "I truly believe absence makes the heart grow founder." My initial thought was, awwwe, how cute! But, then I thought, was he just feed up with me and needed a break to appreciate me more? No, that wasn't the case....well, not for him anyway! Just Kidding! Those 4 days that we were apart were were just practice for a long absence from him while I'm in MD this summer.

Coming home from Seattle and realizing that I only had 11 precious days left before the trip really made me thing how much I am going to miss him. Bad breath and all!! I asked him if he was going to cry at the airport, because I know I am! He said he probably would because he's a big softy. :-)

So, I guess the point of this post is to let the family know that it is really going to suck ( I couldn't think of a more appropriate word to describe how I feel) being away from each other. We love one another so much, and Seattle proved that 4 days was no walk in the park. Help us! Encourage us, take care of my Bradley while I'm gone, and hopefully we'll survive!

You got that right, dear daughter. I am in the same boat, with Brenda out in Colorado, and then on to California.

I think I'll have to deal with 10 more days before she returns home.

When are you coming here again?

Boy, Leslie you and I just caused a whole bunch of ruckus this summer huh? Mom is in Colorado because I'm away from my family, and you'll be away from Brad for about the same time I'm away. I know what you mean, it is way difficult. This week and last week have been difficult, but I am NOT looking foward to when Melani goes to California and I won't even be able to see her on the weekend! :( My recommendation is to keep as busy as possible because then the time goes by quicker and you have less time to worry about how much you miss your honey.
