For as happy and excited as I was for my sister and her family to come visit, I am 1,000 times more sad to see them go. These goodbyes will never get easier, I am pretty sure they are worse each time.
I miss Vanessa, she was such a cutie - all curls and sweetness. Last night she cuddled with me for a few minutes before bedtime. She hugged and kissed me this morning before they left.
I miss Nicholas, he is such a little man now, so grown up for a six year old. This morning he said he had something in his eye and he cried and cried and cried. He will miss playing with his cousins. And I will miss him.
I miss Tony, what can I say about my brother-in-law... He is a special guy and I am so glad he is part of the family. We shared many moments, the best of all when he said I was his favorite sister. The look he would get in his eyes when he talked to me was nice, he loves me, he loves me more than any of my other siblings-in-law do. He is a passionate person and wears his heart on his sleeve, this morning as they were leaving, he was very sad. He will come back again, he loves it here.
I miss Debbie, my best friend. Out of everyone in the family, I will always have a special connection with her. She may be 10 years older than me, but the difference doesn't affect our friendship. I hate when she leaves, it hurts too much to think of how hard it is to communicate with her, on the other side of the world. We make promises to write more often, to call more often, and yet it never ends up that way. A little piece of my heart is ripped out each time she leaves. I hate it.
