THANK YOU!



Just a quick post to say THANK YOU! Your kind words, sweet comments, texts and most of all prayers have meant the world to me. Yesterday was such a sad day. My world changed overnight. I know from the comments left that so many of you have had similar experiences. Thank you for sharing them with me. Knowing your stories and how you dealt with them and most importantly how you adjusted to them, helped a great deal. Change is never easy, just inevitable.

And today, as promised, I am going to visit my grandbabies in the upstate. That was quick, wasn't it? But, school starts on Monday for Lidia and Sawyer and just like when my girls were little, I want to be there for their first day of school, I want to see their classrooms and meet their teachers. I want to be there when they come home from school and hear the stories they have to tell. I want them to know Cliff and I are still here for them....that a few miles down the road doesn't change anything.

So...after my training run of 7 miles this morning, I'll load up and hit the road. I have a busy couple of weeks coming up so posting may be spotty, at best. But oh, the stories I'll have to tell.....

Stay tuned,
Laurie

  3. After I had read this post I went to the last post to see what was going on. I can understand your pain and I was almost crying with you. But - you can still see them, you're still close enough. For me the worst part of leaving my country and moving to a different continent was that my daughter couldn't see her grandparents anymore. She saw them once a year at best. So yes, keep those roads hot and go and see them as often as possible.

    1. Thank you, Carola, for your thoughtful comment. You're right....I can still see them. I'm so sorry that your daughter didn't get to see her grandparents more often. I'm here with my grandchildren now and just soaking them up.
