Upset
Well, here I go again. I was so upset--about an hour ago I poured my heart out in this journal, hit post, only to be told LJ was in the "read only" mode and I couldn't post. It was very emotional trying to tell about my last few days, but here I go again.
I had a wonderful but very emotional weekend. My youngest daughter and her family came up from Florida. She has two children, a son 6 years old and a daughter, 2 years old. They, along with my 6 year old grandaughter are the light of my life! I love spending time with my girls, son-in-laws, and grandchildren and it has been very hard moving away. I have only been in Ohio since January 23rd and moving away from them was the 2nd hardest thing I have ever done.
Josh has drawn me several heartbreaking pictures about us saying goodbye. When he got here last Thursday night, he told me I needed to quit that old job, quit school, and come back to Florida. He was so worried about only having a few days to spend together. We did many activities, but we also had several talks, especially when we would lay down to sleep each night (he slept in my room).
I think all of them had a good time. We went to Germantown Dam on Friday, had a family (aunts and uncles) picnic on Saturday, went to a Reds game on Sunday, and played in the creek on Monday. This was in addition to just spending general time together and all of them riding the 4-wheelers.
We spent Tuesday just being together, and last night, we all spent times "tearing up" and didn't want to think about this morning. They left at 5:00AM. I have spent a lot of time crying and thinking today, although I have tried to stay busy. I truly do think about just packing up and going back, but I am hopeful that before long they will all move back up here. I must keep focused for now!
Need to close -- I'm mentally drained.
