LohDaughter, LohSIL, GrandGirl* and GrandBoy ** just left after a five-day visit. We see them more or less monthly but it still made me sad to see the little ones drive off. In my head, I heard my own grandmother's parting words, "When are you coming back?" I didn't voice those words today, but I finally appreciate where she was coming from. That energy fills the house and then the house deflates.
Perhaps the eight guests we are expecting later this afternoon will pump me up again.
Looking back, 2009 has been a most excellent year for the LohFolks.
