Leaving "the boys" Jake (8yrs) and Zack (6yrs) will be the hardest thing we have ever done. Those two boys came into my life during a dark time in our life. Jake and Zack brought so much joy, laughter, companionship and love to us that our life was so much brighter once they stepped into it. What a gift Mike and Dawn gave us letting us share in the joy and love that those boys give to us and everyone else in their life. They certainly became a BIG part of our life.
The other day, Dawn, Jerry and were discussing our move and about packing, selling on craigslist, polishing up the Z Car when Zack jumped in and said "We'll never see you again". His face was sad and his voice sounded like he was about to cry. I explained to him that he would be able to get on a plane and come see us. That mommy and daddy would take them to the airport and make sure they were on the plane and then the flight attendants would be responsible to make sure when they landed that we were there to pick them up. Zack's busted out saying "I don't even have a wallet"!!! I explained that he wouldn't need a wallet to come visit us. I also told him that mommy and daddy were planning to bring their trailer and stay with us. Zack wasn't happy when I told him it would take at least 2 days to get there.
A couple days later, Mike and Dawn were planning a weekend get away without taking Jake and Zack. Jake and Zack would be staying with grandma in Fullerton. Jake told his dad... "I know you are going to Jerry and Karen's even before we get to go"!!! Of course his dad told him they weren't leaving to go to Jerry and Karen's.
We are going to miss those two boys!!! I don't know how I am going to be able to leave them!!!
