I took this picture of Keri & Courtney at the airport. I was way down the terminal when I took it, they didn’t know I was taking it. We had already said our goodbyes, after spending the hour before the plane boarded trying not to cry and just making small talk…remember when you could go to the gate and see people off?

That was one of the first of many “goodbyes” I’ve had with the kids living on the other side of the country. I guess I’m grateful that we live in the jet-age and not the pony express days! However, I still struggle with the goodbyes…I don’t even try not to cry anymore.
