Another Goodbye

K's parents left for home today.

We sent them to the airport this morning. This time, J was quite distracted with a new toy that they had gotten for him, one that he had wanted for quite a while, so it didn't quite sink in that they were leaving then. It did sink in later though. He was much quieter and more subdued today. At dinner time, he morosely put his head in one hand. When I asked him what was wrong, he said he missed Ah-ma and Kong-kong.

And even though E is so young, it does seem to register with her too. She was more cranky than usual, especially around mealtimes. Maybe she felt the loss more because K's parents clearly weren't at the dining table with us.

Poor babies. They miss their grandparents. And K and I do too!

Goodbyes are always so hard. it may not get easier but we all grow thru the pain of it. Smile. Hey, I think (coming from a non-green fingers myself) tomato plants are creepers?
