They Left


My heart is sad tonight.....They are gone....They left for Greece on Friday. They left for a new adventure and a new chapter in their life. They will be gone for 2-5 years. They left a 10-year-old and a 6-year-old and will come back two different boys....they will be a teenager and a preteen....I wonder what our relationship will be like then. Will it change or will there still be snuggles and hugs....and endless games of palace, monopoly, phase 10 and Candy Land bingo, well maybe not the bingo. I miss them so much. It's hard not to be able to pick up the phone and call them, as they do not have a phone. No Internet service yet, but hopefully that will be up and running soon so we can talk with them on the computer. The older one did not want to go. There were many tears that were shed. The younger one, well lets just say that he wanted to go to see what it was. His words were "Papa what's a Greece?" Bless his heart he had no clue. At any rate, I'm praying for restoration, for God to do awesome things in their lives while they are there. They will come back home changed for sure, but hoping it is for the better.
