"See you later..."

suck. Plain and simple, they just suck. So, mom and dad decided to throw us a "See you later" party. The parties that my parents 'throw' I like to call "drunk fest" only because I get to drink and my kids get to run wild while mommy is drinking ... of course they are safe, how dare you suggest otherwise ;) ... when I drink, I'm actually more aware. LOL Ok, so, Didi and Pap are there along w/numerous other mom/dad's and grandparents.

Anyway ... the party was wonderful, even with having to say 'see you later' to my family, 2nd family, and friends. However, reassurances from them all made it easier.

Saying "see you later" to mom and dad was much harder. For fear of a 'breakdown' I'm just going to say a few things. My heart hurts because their hearts hurt. (That's all I can say right now)

The in-laws were just as tough to say 'see you later' to. I helps knowing that Frank has other siblings still in town to be there for them. No, nobody can replace my kids, so I'm certain that it was/is hard for both Nanny and Papa...as well as, my kids and myself.

So many things I want to say I will miss. But, I must say "see you later" ... I ran out of tissues. ;)
