Thanks everyone for all your kind words and the warm welcome back. I would have posted sooner, but have had problems with good ol "Error 500."
Yes, I am completely enamored of my niece and nephew. My niece is a total hoot. I'll have to blog about her one day. God willing, we might have one of our own, one day.
Marcy, Thanks sooooo much for the melatonin suggestion. I took a bottle with me on the trip just in case. Carolina didn't need any, but Hunter had so much on his mind he couldn't sleep most nights.
My darling Woo, I missed you so much, not to see your smily face made me sad!! But I'm so happy that you're back!! Mommy says that you are my guardian angel because you helped her decide to bring me home. So I don't want you to be sad, okay? I'm so sorry about your Hunter's dad going away. Do you think it could be that the angels planned it this way? So that you would have your new nephew and the beautiful wedding and all the happy memories of new life while your dad-in-law was moving on to his next one? That's what Mommy thinks. She said to tell you to love on each other a lot and know that we are all thinking about you, and we love WOO!!! hee hee xoxo Cherie
Sweet Mimi, you have the best smiling face, too. I want to smile whenever I see your little smiley avatar.
We are keeping close the good, happy memories of Hunter's dad. And even though the trip to Florida was sudden and for a funeral, it gave us another opportunity to connect with more family and to reminisce. Promises were made for future visits. Tears were shed, sure, but when we talk about the trip and get teary eyed, it's not sad tears anymore. It's just an overflow of emotion. Hunter is grieving and healing in a good way.
