"Miss You Already"
Sometime after Karen and Rachel had both gone away to school and we all had cell phones, we started the tradition of sending the text "miss you already" after we had to part ways. It has become a bit of a competition, really, to see who can send that text first. Silly? Yes, but it conveys the very heart of what I feel when we have to split up. I LOVE spending time with my kids, and it's always a little hard to have to say "goodbye."
I've discovered that it has become even more difficult now that I have a sweet little grandbaby and now that Karen and Andrew have their own home and their own life. It just seems that the visits are always too far apart (no matter how close they are) and that it's going to be FOREVER before I see them again. I'm like a whiny little kid, waiting impatiently for Christmas.
Karen, Andrew, and Emily are on the road back to Brigham City, and you know what? I miss them already.
Come again soon, you trio that I love! Nana's welcome mat is always out!
P.S. Consider "miss you already" for my tombstone, kids. Wouldn't that be awesome?
