Today was kind of a rough day for both Joel and I. My younger sister who lives in Florida with her husband and two boys have been here for the past three weeks due to a few different family events going on but flew back home yesterday morning. Joel really has a special attachment to his Aunt Lindsay and kept asking to go see her today and wanted her to go to the park too but is too young to grasp the concept that she doesn’t live here and she had to go back home. I know that we are not the only family that is scattered and many people have family much farther away than we do, but it is really difficult and I miss her so much. It makes it even harder now that we both have kids of our own. It really breaks my heart when he gets so worked up from not understanding as to why we can’t just jump in the car and go visit Aunt Lindsay. I can remember my mom telling my sister and I all the time growing up that someday we would be best friends and appreciate each other. We used to argue that we would never be best friends but mom was right. Never take your family for granted and always say “I love you”. You never know what tomorrow will bring and you don’t want to have regrets.
