I am still weeping --- they've driven off, heading towards Iowa and Indiana to see more folks who love them. I would keep them here if I could. I have so loved learning to know my grandsons...and it breaks my heart to say goodbye...to see them go. They have brought me such joy, driven me a little nuts (even though I was pretty far gone already!), and challenged me to new levels in many ways.
Loving people is a dangerous adventure. It opens you up to great wonders, and great pain. We will make it through this, and I know God has more great times ahead of us.
But right now I'm sad. I'm glad I know how I feel and can feel it. Joy and Sadness walk hand-in-hand through my life and I embrace them.
