Saying Goodbye

It has been a tough week in our house. We are learning how to say goodbye to best friends. We have done this before, but Lovey was 5 and Littlebit was 2. Littlebit and Lovey's best friends are moving to Korea. It is the downfall of living in a military area and not being a military family. Your friends always leave. We've known for a few months that they were moving, but it just seemed to come up so fast. For the last two years, they have lived in the cul de sac behind us. It was perfect because I could send the kids out to play with their friends and still watch them from the comfort of my home. The last few weekends have been full of sleepovers, but as the movers came the last two days and they are no longer staying in their house it has become real.

We made each of them care packages and hope that they will write, but my heart breaks for my kids. There are several other girls Littlebit's age in the neighborhood, but not many other boys Lovey's age. I am hoping a family just like this one moves into their house. For my sake and my kids!
