So true! It can be a beautiful mess at times, can't it? lol <br /><br />Thank you for your kind words! I'm happy you came by!<br />Becky Cavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15151009371729606281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495111312866801685.post-78754393648849005142012-10-02T22:39:05.642-07:002012-10-02T22:39:05.642-07:00Hi Shelly,
Thank you very much for your comment an...Hi Shelly,<br />Thank you very much for your comment and for stopping by on my blog. :-) <br /><br />I can definitely relate to the story about overhearing your boys pretending to play with their papa. That would be very difficult. We've had several moments like that and I always feel like I got punched in the gut. <br /><br />But, you are right: kids are very resilient and there is a lot that my daughter will be learning from this experience, especially how to be flexible and adaptive. This will change her for the better.<br /><br />Thank you again for your support and kind words!!

Cherish these times, because this too soon shall pass, and all of this makes for this messy thing call, life. :) It's funny, how we all imagine how wonderful our life would be somewhere else, never thinking about the emotional part of missing family and friends, which is huge. Thank you for sharing both parts of it, the excitement and the emotions.

When my boys were ...Hi Becky, I know how you feel. When my boys were younger we moved from Michigan to Munich Germany for four months. They missed their papa so much! I overheard them one day playing and saying " we are pretending to play hide and seek with Papa"!! I had to hold back the tears. This was back in the day before we even had a cell phone! Fast forward to today twelve years later and we are all back in the US but the boys are grown up, one in college three hours away and the other in Michigan with his fiancé. My husband and I moved to Nashville, TN for his job. I'm older now but going through empty nest syndrome in a new state where I do not really know any one. Thank God for IPads, FaceTime, Skype and cell phones!! Keep hugging and kissing and squeezing those kids of yours! Believe it or not it really does go by fast! They will make new friends, kids are so unbelievably resilient! Being an expat is not easy at all, but neither is empty nest! Try and enjoy this exciting time in your lives! Believe it or not "this too shall pass" :)Shelly Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225584635428948222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495111312866801685.post-24216548321473416492012-10-02T04:37:58.820-07:002012-10-02T04:37:58.820-07:00Hi June,

I have to admit, I hope my blog gives the people away from me a look into my life. Infact, I wrote a blog about that too. Missing never ends.
