Hard to say goodbye.

I'm exhausted tonight. I think my body is finally letting go of stress I've apparently been carrying the last week or two.

Took Mom to the airport this morning. The younger girls and I were able to get gate passes to help Mom to the gate, so we were able to hang out with her until she left. We stayed and watched the airplane taxi down the runway, but the windows weren't facing the right direction for us to see the plane take flight.

Our middle daughter was somehow able to hold herself together, but she lost it a few times before we left the house. I'm not sure, but I think the 4 hour nap yesterday was her way of avoiding the thought of her Gramma going home, because she did have a couple of mini-meltdowns yesterday.

Just got off the phone. Mom made it home safe and sound. I'm glad. Now I feel like I'll be able to sleep.

I'm totally wiped tonight. I'll put some thought into a better post for tomorrow.

Promise. ;o)
