Goodbyes

Why are goodbyes SO hard? It broke mine and my parent's hearts today as we had to say our goodbyes to my brother, sister-in-law, and especially JT and Jordan. Today was the first time I think I ever saw my dad cry. Those little ones mean everything to us, and knowing that we probably won't see them a whole month out of the year now tears me into millions of pieces. As we were giving out our huges and kisses Jordan asks me, "why is nanny crying?" They truly have no idea that their world is being turned upside down. I actually talked with JT on the phone tonight and he asked me, "why was you crying?" He is a smart little boy, and he knows that something is happening but he doesn't really know what that something is... All he knows is that he is going to go stay with grandma and grandpa for a while. JT told my mom a few weeks back when she asked him if he would miss us, and he responded, "yeah, but nanny we're coming back soon." Can you just imagine how that feels?! Today is one day I wish NEVER came.
