Another Visit Ends

The visits come and go. His changes are constant. This trip he delighted us with increased conversation skills and challenged us with a willfulness to get his own way, which often happened to be the opposite of what we wanted.

It's 5 am, and we leave for the airport soon. The LTR has the hardest task, as we leave him alone here to see the empty room and the unplayed-with toys. No, the loss is not a permanent one, but it is still a loss.

My next blog post will be from Hawaii.

As with so many realities of life, the loss of a loved one, even temporarily leaves a void of sadness; yet the memories provide an avenue for hope and anticipation of the future.

Thank you for sharing this hope from the moment of separation with us to remind us of the value we each have with others in life.
