They are gone......:(
My kids went home yesterday.....their flight left at 6 am. After , I went home and the house was so quiet. It felt so empty. My son went down for his nap, and I wandered around crying like a crazy person. The day that they leave is always the hardest. I mourn them everytime. My son did call me when they got home, he was feeling better, he was crying alot when he left, but is ok now, my daughter could not come to the phone, my ex got on and told me she was "missing me to death", and could she call me back when she is more "together".He was worried about her to, and I'm glad he understands that this is very hard. I said ok, and still have not heard from her yet. I hope she does today, I know she was exaugested yesterday, we all were. I just hope she is ok. I want to give her the time she needs....I know how tough this is. I did not want to talk or see anyone yesterday either. I slept alot. My DH was so helpful, he makes it easier to feel better. I do a little bit today. I have to keep moving along, my baby needs me. I know there will be moments over the next few days, but I get them again this year for Christmas, and I can't wait. I love them so much. So I will be popping on more often.....my MIL just arrived in town yesterday too. She just spent a week with the skids, and has some pretty funny stories for us (big eye-roll). Well I will write again soon....still pulling myself together.

i cant even imagine how hard it must be but cherish the time you spent together, think about Christmas when u will see them again and in the space between, remember that they are thriving and happy and its all bc of u.

I would start a new tradtion of sending cards/notes
When I was in college my mom, and my grandpa sent me cards now and then. It was awesome to get them, and I felt very loved when I was homesick for them.
I'm sorry Chel. I know that feeling, even when I only went a week at a time without seeing them. I'm sure it would have been very down and depressing if I went as long as you do.
Hugs to you.

thank you...
for your comments. I really like the idea of sending them something thru the mail, insted of just online, or e-mails. I know that they would love to get something, be it just a card, with some pic's or a package w/ a small gift. I think it would be a good idea to do it once a month...it's the least I could do!! The daily phone calls from them are great, but some times we run out of things to say, or I'm not here to get the call, and online is fun, but not personal enough.l want them also to feel close to their little brother, they love him so much, and were really great w/ him while they were here. I know it would help fill this big space we have."~waiting on the world to change~"
what if
you would video tape some things w ur son and send those thru the mail??? didnt u give me that idea before??!!

Pictures are good too
Maybe you can take pictures of you together during visits then send them one in each card, once a month? Also could you maybe record you reading a bedtime story to them?
I am glad you had such a great visit!!! and the more you visit, the more used to it you will get when it is time to part, still sad but ok as they get older too. My DH was the same way, almost crazy with grief when SD went home after her visits but now she is almost grown (17) he feels ok about her. Hope you feel better soon!
