Leaving the Girls - October 27, 2007
Bobby and I left Austin yesterday after saying goodbye to Maggie, Jay, Molly and Leah. We won't see each other again until mid-December - 49 days! That is the longest I have gone without seeing the girls and probably the longest I've gone without seeing Maggie! Bobby says I will never be able to live with him overseas now that we have the grandchildren and he's right. I love him and miss him but there is no way I could go months without seeing our babies! It was so hard leaving them but I didn't cry because I didn't want them to be upset. And they weren't. Molly told her Daddy later on that night that she wasn't sad because when we left "we all hugged and we went outside and sat in the sunshine and waved goodbye"...
