Leaky Eyes

💙Have you ever had one of those days where you sit around in your favorite t-shirt and pj pants all day, watch movies, and don't care?! I have. This occurs when one of my precious adult kid sets have left to go back home after an amazing whirlwind visit--- and they take the Grandbabe, too! Sometimes it's just a hard day missing the family. I cry for a bit then talk to myself to get it together. "Come on Angie...dry it up!"
It's a day that I really don't want to talk to anyone ... knowing I might cry again?! So I do laundry or make coffee or cook or watch another movie.
Then without a warning..I don't know how he knows... but he does... at just the right time.... while I'm looking at the pictures in my phone of the kids ... my sweet Hubby calls and asks, "How's Mimi?" He knows my eyes leak some days. He soothes me with his calm voice and reminds me “its all good”. He tells me he loves me and somehow makes me smile....all the while, I know how much he misses our people too!
These leaky eye days are not reserved just for those of us that travel. It's part of life's journey as our nest becomes systematically empty. We've done our job as parents...which means we've worked ourselves out of a job! No one tells parents as they hold that tiny baby how much they will love this human, regardless of how grown they get. A parents heart never closes!
So, I guess in a very weird way, life is saying, "Job well done!" "You have loved well; given Big hugs; kissed precious faces; and raised, by the grace of God, great young adults."
I'm so blessed to have so many people to miss! I am proud to now call these amazing adult kids my friends!
