Our daughter flew home to attend her brother's wedding this June. She has already left to go back across seas. In just a few days, we managed to catch up, at least a little, from the past year. We shopped, we exercised, we cooked, we hosted together. She presented a program. She rested, a little. We visited with relatives and then packed her bag, still dusty from her previous travels. We laughed, I cried. Lets just say that we crammed more into a few days than was humanly possible.

Thankfully, we have good communication to each other throughout the year so we did not have to rely on speaking in high speed. I think I should keep a journal this year to record questions that come up during the year that I wish we could speak of more fully when she returns.

She has grown up. She is an inspiration. I miss her but she will be back before I know it. Hopefully I grow up too.
