Day 3--the waterworks

Not every moment of our journey has been "pretty."
We stopped at Dennys and ordered a few Grand Slam breakfasts. We were watching Fox News on the big TV and talking to a nice family sitting near us. All of the sudden, I felt an incredible sense of sadness come over me. Then...the tears. I don't mean a few small tears that can be hidden...I'm talking major waterworks here! Nothing I could do would make them stop. They kept coming. The waitress brought more napkins to our table.
At this point, I didn't try to stop them. It's not like I know anyone in the mountains, at Denny's, in Pennsylvania. If everyone in the whole place thought I was nuts, that was perfectly fine with me.
Honestly, I already miss my family. Yes, I sound like a big baby. I am ok with that...for now. Before the "waterworks" episode, I looked down at my watch, which is still set to Decatur time, and it was 11pm. I began to picture all of my family at church, then going to lunch, then later heading over to mom and dad's to just chill and watch the kids play. The boys would be running around like two caged animals, and dad would be feeding the babies popsicles.
My family is such a part of me...almost like my limbs, my arms and legs, certainly my heart. I won't be there today...none of the fab4 will be there. This is the "new normal" that we will adjust to.
It will get easier; time has a way of making everything easier. Time doesn't take anything away, it just makes issues more tolerable.
So, on this blog, I am sending my family huds and kisses. I can feel my nephews and niece against me hugging me and I am kissing their sweet, soft baby cheeks...it makes me smile just thinking about it.
I am better now. No more tears...for now. The weather is 75 here in PA and it is sunny, breezy and beautiful. We are jamming out to Switchfoot. When we arrive to our new location, we are going straight to our new home and we will probably jump in the pool...I may even jump in the pond, who knows.
Only three hours left on the road!
Until later...
