So long, farewell

Tomorrow I leave for home. I will drive the long 9 hour drive home, all alone. I am not looking forward to leaving. :( I don't like "good-byes", especially when it comes to our kids, and grandkids. There is just too much time between visits, always. The best part about returning home is that Pat is there, waiting for me. I am grateful I could come, and am grateful to be going home. Can I also just say how grateful I am that our family is eternal? (There, I said it!)
