My older son drove one of the family cars across the country to their new house that they will be moving in to. He will be flying back here tomorrow and we’ll all leave on Tuesday. His wife doesn’t drive his truck, so today I took her and the 2 kids to my other son’s house for his annual Memorial Day BBQ. I have visited with his group of friends many times and enjoy learning about the new experiences happening in their lives. It was difficult for my daughter in law to say goodbye to everyone and she wasn’t expecting the tears to come. The excitement of looking forward to their move mixed with the sadness of leaving people here was a little overwhelming. But she was alright after a little while. I thought about how my granddaughter went through the same thing just a couple of days ago. I think it was good for her to see her mom be sad and happy at the same time too. Hopefully she will realize those emotions are normal and it’s ok to feel and show them. I feel the same way, but I will have another week with them before I will be crying too. I am happy for them to be excited for this new opportunity, but I will miss having them so close. My parents were blessed that they came and I am so grateful.

I Found God today in the blessing of my family.
