The day finally came where my brother’s family was being deployed over to Germany for 2 years and it hadn’t hit me yet that I couldn’t just jump on a $50 1.5 hour flight on a whim to partake in some much needed snuggles.
With their 3 very distinctive personalities taking shape, I can’t imagine how much they will be changed by this experience and as they grow into the next stages of their young lives. I can see they are excited yet nervous, and I pray that this experience is amazing.
I can’t wait to be one of their first visitors and take them on mini European day trips to see far off castles and walk through historic ruins.
So today I am sad….
Carter is my little buddy and we have a special, unspoken bond. He gives the best snuggles and my rough housing nemesis.
Emma is the wild child who is naturally good at everything she attempts. She is fiercely headstrong and has boundless energy.
Olivia was the Gerber model baby and my original partner in crime. She is my bestie and growing up way too fast.
So to delay more tears, I’m already tracking flights and starting the ticker down for eight months until the end of busy season. Or just maybe…. I can find a string of five days in the fall to squeeze in a surprise international getaway!
