Oh I hate good-byes. I do. But this good-bye today, well, it really did hurt pretty bad. I don't think I was quite prepared for it. But when those four little girls hugged me and told me to stay, I just about had to say yes. Had to, I tell you. I love them love them love them. But I didn't. I just hugged them and told them how I would miss them.
And then Leah hugged me, and I wanted to run away to another room and sob my eyes out. I am going to miss spending my days with her. She's a great sister and a good friend. I didn't enjoy saying good-bye to Zeb much, either. In my mind, I see him at the Dallas airport, all grown-up in his business attire. There I was, all done with law school and ready for the next phase. And I remember thinking to myself that my baby brother was really an adult...a man. I am sad that I am leaving him and his family.
And so that is all there is to say. I cried.
