Goodbye Times Three!

The last week has included way too many goodbyes! Last Saturday morning Mike and I were dropping Brian off at the airport for his 3-month schooling in Virginia. Thankfully, we will be seeing him soon at Christmas....still it's hard to say goodbye.

Friday morning I said goodbye to Mike as he took off for deer hunting.....up to the cabin with a friend from work, Brad. He was really looking forward to time off to tromp through the woods...and get that elusive "Deer." I think he enjoys the quiet time in the woods the most!
The house sure is quiet now that we are "empty nesters"....sometimes nice but I do miss him.

Monday evening I said a very hard goodbye! After 6 1/2 years of taking care of my young patient, I said goodbye. Even though I often took care of other patients, also.....I spent
thousands of hours caring for him..... a special bond develops.....I will be able to visit, but it won't be the same. I've talked with him before about meeting in heaven some day....seeing him running, talking and laughing.....what a joy it has truly been to be a part of this famly!
I'm very excited to begin my new position next Wednesday, but still there is an emptiness.

Goodbye, all
