See you later...

I have so much to share and no time to do it.

We've been out of town. Midland. We sent my brother and his family off on a plane on Christmas morning. They moved to Africa. I'm so utterly proud of them and the fact that they have accepted to call to full time missions and so utterly heartbroken for the changes that means for our family. I have been mourning the loss of memories that I'd anticipated making for so many years to come. The time we shared together before they left was bittersweet. I can't stop the tears...even now as I type. I didn't get to see them that often, but I knew I could and that if I needed them-they'd be there. No one said it was easy to follow Christ. The last words my brother said to me were not "Goodbye", but..."See you later..." Godspeed Roger, Laurie, Kandle and Walker. Our love and prayers are with you. Always.
