365 Days of Gratitude - Day 250

We had our farewell evening with Richard and Sydney tonight. It followed a perfect morning at the kennel playing with the dogs, and an afternoon bike along the Bow River with nephew Adrian.

Then tonight, our farewell dinner. Our last chance for a few months to commiserate with the kids, chat with their friends, and soak up every last moment of their energy.

Tears dropped down our cheeks as we drove back to our campsite. We miss them already.

But...we wouldn't wish it be any different. To wish so would mean we wished they weren't living the lives they dreamed of, doing the things that make their heart sing. So yes, it is difficult to say goodbye to our beautiful western children but our hearts are full knowing they are making the most of their own dreams.

Feeling grateful,

Louise
