along with this little gem,
loaded this big truck today. Cyle and Tom worked hard packing all this little families belongings on the truck.
Cayden was excited to see this BIG TRUCK filled with all their things! I told Bri to leave with the Cyle and the truck and that I would do some cleaning at the house for her!
Cayden didn't understand why Meme wasn't going to "Van Werk" in his car too.
Hugs and kisses. Tears. And off they went. Tears...
I stayed behind with Molly, who helped me cry.
Thank you Meigan!
and this word-
I stayed behind with Molly, who helped me cry. She kept saying "Goodbyes are so hard, aren't they Meme?"
She cleaned with me and we cried some more when we went into Cayden's playroom and saw his little chalkboard with his name still written on it. We looked in the Jungle room and felt sad it was empty. Molly saw her old crib up in Mya's room and wondered..."Where will Mya sleep tonight?" I assured her Mya had her own crib in Van Wert, "don't worry" and we laughed and said Cayden always says that to us!! Don't Worry!
I came home to find comments on my blog from sweet friends, Roxi, Gina, Sheila, Nancy~ Thank You!
I found these beautiful flowers on my counter with a note that said...
BECAUSE YOU ARE THE BEST AT MAKING LEMONADE OUT OF LEMONS......
Thinking of you and I love you,
Meig
Thank you Meigan! A cheery phone message from Roxi~ Thank you Roxi!
Dave assuring me it would all be ok. Reminding me how Cayden will love growing up where he can run around outside and play in the woods! Thanks honey!
Texts from Beckie and Donny~ I love you too!
Sweet phone call from Molly and Sarah~ Meme loves you so so much!
Then the text from Bridget,
with this picture...
and this word- HOME :~)
All is well.

Oh, Diana, I've been out of sorts all morning. Grumpy and cranky and feeling butterflies in my tummy. While I was sorting a mountain of socks I found myself thinking of you. I was wondering what the time difference was and wondering what stage of saying goodbye you might have been going through. I got all choked up and thought "That's what's been bugging me" I know it sounds so silly but I have been thinking of you and hoping that you are ok.
...now back to the socks.
Mom and I thinking were about you guys yesterday. We're having a hard time imagining Bridget and her family not living close to the rest of the family anymore, but we know that it will be a great new adventure for them! Dave is right! Cayden will LOVE all that room to run around! I'm sure there will be many trips back home to visit! Van Wert may be their new home, but you can have more than one home! :0) Love you!
Oh gosh Diana, I don't even know your kids in real life and you have me in tears. My heart just breaks for you. Dave is right though. Think of how much fun Cayden will have running in those woods having big boy adventures. You are in my thoughts and prayers as you get used to your new normal. I'm so glad you still have the girls right there to love on you. Love you sweet friend!
I just read the comments others have left for you..and see(read) what I know so well about you....you touch so many peoples' lives! People who haven't met you in person and yet you've touched ! Cayden, Mya and family are able to take this step because of the love and security that they know they always have with you ! Florida will be such a sweet time for you all to be together and treasure...and so many new adventures to share in days ahead !
you are the sweetest meme!
