Life As We Know It: Goodbye

We said a sad goodbye to Mom and DC and Grandpa this last week. Mom and DC threw an incredible "goodbye party" at a very quaint "Pozole" restaurant. They invited all their close friends (about 25 people) and many people drove for hours to see them and say goodbye! Just shows how loved they are and how much they'll be missed. Sniff! The meal was wonderful, traditional Mexican fare (specifically from the State of Guerrero) and there was some lovely Mezcal (sort of like Tequila, but with a stronger taste) and a lot of laughs and tears.

The night before they left the girls and I went to their house to say goodbye. Poor Bubby came down with a fever (he is still stick with a nasty flu!)so Stephen stayed home with him. We took pictures, ate ice-cream, cleaned out their fridge and generally tried to be merry on such a sad occasion! They will be so sorely missed. I know I have been very blessed to have had them so nearby for so long, that my girls and Ethan have gotten to know them well and that even though they are moving, at least we are on the same continent! (Gotta count those blessings!)
