These past few weeks have been filled with so many great memories, especially for our boys. \u00a0We all got a nice\u00a0reprieve\u00a0from the challenges we face here. \u00a0Even Tyler became attached to someone (other than mom) for the first time. \u00a0All the memories make me smile.<\/p>\n

I am looking forward to day when there will be no more “goodbyes” and no more tears. \u00a0Today however is not that day. \u00a0I have often wondered if we will ever get better at saying goodbye, but I am told from people with years of experience that it never gets easier. \u00a0 \u00a0We rejoice in the memories we were able to make these past few weeks, but goodbyes are still difficult. \u00a0 This is one of those struggles that makes me long for the home God is building for us. \u00a0In the meantime we would appreciate your prayers as we all say goodbye to ones we dearly love.<\/p>\n
