The "cousins" as they call themselves had the last swim together for a while yesterday afternoon.
Melissa, Mike, Michael and Lauren are moving 10 hours away today!
Yesterday was a bitter sweet day for all of us.
The children had a good time swimming and playing together and will not see one another until Christmas.
Before they left, Michael, Lauren and I went to the pond to feed the fish. Michael made me tear up with this request.
Bama, can I find some rocks from your yard to take to the new house with me?
Sure, I said and the three of us, armed with baggies set out on our rock find quest. They each found a baggie full of colorful pebbles.
Now, Michael said, I will put these rocks in a glass and have a little of your yard in my room.
I teared up and said, Yes you will and every time you look at them they will tell you how much Papa John and I love you!
He looked up at me and smiled and hugged me hard.
I will miss Michael and Lauren, Melissa and Mike so much!

I have to say this made me tear up. I really wish my kids were close to their grandparents, unfortunately we've lived too far from them.
