We said goodbye to my brother and his lovely family, after a truly wonderful day on the beach....swimming in crashing waves, BBQ lunch (LOTS of ketchup), ice creams, trampolining, footy and a play at the park.....and a few minutes later I found this forlorn little Thom, still sitting by the gate.
Me: Hey Thom, are you alright?
Thom (whispers): No
Me: Oh, what's wrong?
No answer, but a big sigh
Me: Are you feeling a bit sad?
Thom (whispers): Yes
Me: D'you know why?
Thom (whispers): Jack gone.
We're all feeling a bit like this..... I'll post some lovely happy photos soon, but just need to let this stand for a bit.
Hugs to the Brists.
Poor Thom :( It's so lovely that you had such good time with your brother and his family. It must be painful to say good bye. My sister and her boys went back to Hong Kong this week. They've been over for a month, so it was sad for the children to think that they won't see their cousins until next year. Hugs to you all xxx
ReplyDeleteAwww - thanks LG - it's SOOO hard saying goodbye to family, and yeah- it's especially hard thinking about the cousins, as you say.... :( Makes us very grateful for all the good times, though - certainly no taking for granted....! xxx
