It's not easy to say good-bye

On Friday, December 14, I waved good-bye to Aunt Becki and Lacie as I drove away from 338 Goff Creek Road in Spokane, Missouri.  I had bid farewell to Uncle Elliott the night before.  Parker and I met up in Springfield for our last hurrah.  I will confess that the parting caused wetness in a few eyes.  I hadn't planned on being there so long, but I appreciated my stay immensely.  We made lots of memories, and it was wonderful to get better acquainted with these LiaBraaten relatives of mine.  I'll get to go back at the end of January, so we'll have another chance to be together...and another good-bye to weather.
