Laughter, Tears & The Road Home

My Precious Kindreds!

I'm sitting here with my cup of coffee, in most my prized "Alabama" mug, and reading your recent blogs. I keep see-sawing between laughter and tears! Oh how I miss my Girls! :*-) This is just what what I needed today, a little "Girl Time!"

Gypsy, I'm so happy that things are going good for you, TK & Kiddos! I know you're going to be so very happy together, there is no doubt in my mind! I can just see you tucked up in your Victorian house, drying wild flowers, making smores, doll clothes, giving makeup lessons, and sitting around a roaring fire with your Honey at night after the house is all quiet just soaking up the day together... Among other things ;-) And by the way, I miss those Goozlebugs too! :-) I so loved seeing you today, even if it was just for a few minutes, it made my day! And I must say, you look so good in love, it agrees with you! :-) I truly feel for you and Candygirl, trying to cope with letting go of your Babies! It does just happen so quickly, there's no time to prepare your mind, or your heart. I do know this for certain, no matter how old they are, they never stop needing their Mama's!

Candygirl, I enjoyed talking to you today too! It was wonderful to catch up for a few minutes, I've missed you so much! Hope things went well with your new client today! Thanks for your sweet words, they meant so very much! I think about that day when I brought AB home and it just blows my mind to see him all grown up, married, and possibly having children of his own! Nothing prepares you for that. I think all of us still trying to come to terms with this, I'm not really sure you ever do. You said it Candygirl, "that desire to Mother never goes away." And we all have it in spades! I know you worry about MB & the "bad boys," but she'll find her gumption! Most all Girls, who were brought up right, feel the need to give everybody a chance to prove themselves and you know how it is when you first start being interested in boys, look back at some of our choices :-/ Until then, you can always send "Guido" to "breaka his kneecaps!" ;-) As for your sweet "Muffy" I think you should get her, it's obvious you two belong together! Who could say no to a face like that???!!! :-) Loved the mermaid pic & can't wait to see your own mermaid creations! Hope you're having fun!

I've been thinking so much about home today, I guess seeing Katie's video and all of My Girls just solidifies how much I miss it! I miss being where "the seasons click!" Here in Oz they simply wain from one to the other, there's no defining mark and I guess that's a bit how my life feels here, no defining mark! My life with CC is wonderful, I love him and we enjoy our life together, but our bliss is being carried out on the wrong background! It will be 4 years next month, and I'm ready to get back onto the road home. We've been here long enough! It's hard because I know that regardless where we live one of us will always have to sacrifice. That's the price you pay sometimes to find happiness, but I don't regret it, I wouldn't trade him for anything!

It's about time for me to head to work. Send me a FB message and let me when is a good time to call you both. We can always have our "coffee, tea, or Michalob" via the phone!

I Love & Miss You So Very Much!
