I am gonna miss my......chimney fire fighter, room re-arranger, tree cutter downer, camera fixer, computer helper, dog sitter, dish washer helper, junk drawer cleaner, rug beater, night time movie watcher, embroidery software fixer, evening talk to person.....and all the other things that you helped with while you were here on your break from Yellowstone... LOVE YOU !!! THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP !!! I am also wishing you and Cali safe travels back to Yellowstone ~~~ Life is an ADVENTURE enjoy it !!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

Sorry that you are hurting now. Sounds like Yogi Bear is going to be glad to have his wonderful employee back. Apparently you have done a great job at raising a very nice, responsible son. I am sure he will be missing you too. Enjoy memories, and look forward to future visits and calls. My friend left today to move to Texas. I helped her pack and wished her well. This evening I shed a few tears but I know that I have Skype on my computer so we are just a click away! Keep smiling!!! ~Carolyn~

I know it hurts. I don't have children of my own but it is nice to here your perspective. After saying goodbye to my friend I went to visit my mom.I cut her hair and took her out for dinner. As a daughter, it was work, but she loves me so much. She thanked me. It is important for me to see it in a parents eye. So thank you for enlightening me that my own mother just wants to be with me too. It will get better and we are here for you!!!

I am going to bed for the night, but I will be on tomorrow night. Just noticed that you are from Michigan. Me too! And I had a Japanese exchange student when I was in middle school. I would love to keep chatting. I have to work tomorrow so got to get to bed. Keep in touch!!

What a wonderful son you have. Maybe he needs to visit more often? hehehe

Well, we can see why the guy wanted to go back to WORK! Kidding. I know what you mean. Have a son-in-law who does all that for me when we are up north for the summer. I wish he were here now to help DH with his roof on the shed. And a million other things. How often have we said that we "wish we had Jim here for an hour"? Couldn't have chosen better myself.

Thanks and I will keep all your Military family in my thoughts. I hope they are all safe. Please tell them "Thank you for their service" from me !

It is really so hard to let them go. I feel so alone sometimes. I am very thankful for my DH, but no one can take the place of your very own children. Hugs & Tears for you, Judy

You are so right Jody !!! Tomorrow night I will be feeling SOOOO ALONE !!! My Hubby works nights .. so I am alone from the late after noon til the late am hours..

by carolyn70 01 Apr 2011

Sounds like the perfect time to chit chat on the computer with us Cuties!!! Or make some chocolate chip cookies!!!

by obaachan 01 Apr 2011

sounds like a PLAN !!!!

I think this is one of the hardest things to go thru as a mother. We never get use to it. In this time thought there are so many ways to keep in touch.

you are so right... BUT.. where he is stationed in Yellowstone there is NO internet access...He has to drive 5 miles
South to just call me !!!!

My Sympathy for you.
When the children are away it feels like body parts are missing.
I also have sons who do allsorts especialy electronics and cars. We stockpile the non working items to await their next visit and our friends also wait for them to visit.
Miss them stacks!
From Bev

I know the feeling...and have tears in my eyes for you! A BIG HUG GOES YOUR WAY!

It's not easy to be mother. I cry many times missing my children, specially the youngest one.
A big hug to you, Yoriko

It is so tough when they leave like loosing your best friend. Wishing him safe travels.
