What a great picture of you two! I'm sorry for your loss. As someone who's lived far away from my parents and sibling for three decades I can really identify with how difficult it is to leave after a visit. Those handful of moments at the airport gate or driving away from our loved ones' driveway are damned difficult. After a while we know that the current of life sweeps us away and the pain subsides but it's right there waiting for your the next time which we get to experience if we're lucky.

I am very very lucky that she has a job that allows her to work remotely. She comes here and works a few times a year, I go to Nashville for an extended visit annually where my other daughter joins us. When I drive either of them to the airport, I also watch them walk away for as long as I can see them. I suck up every single moment I can. For both my daughters. The other daughter comes a bit less often, but still several times a year. We all three manage to get together several times a year. Having lost one, I treasure every moment. I am so saddened for my friends who rarely see their grown children, usually sons.
It's lovely to be posting again. Thanks for the appreciation! I still have to write for the prompt about finding your true vocation, which is the reason I haven't been posting! I had to make space for studying.
I'm glad you're able to get together with your daughters regularly to share that valuable time. I try to make it home 3-4 times a year to see my family but, especially as my Mom is getting older, that doesn't feel like enough. We make the most of our time together though. I love how effortless it always seems once I'm there. I'm already looking forward to the next post, I'm intrigued to learn what you've been up to!
