Good-bye to the Big Dude!!!!!
This morning he loaded up his truck. After Mass he said an emotional (NOT) good-bye to his family and drove off into the sunrise. He’s off to spend a few days with family and then onto some more Army-type adventures.
It’s been a great 30 days, big dude. The food, the fun, the jokes. It’s been great. Come back and do it again real soon. (as soon as I recover from all the grocery buying and the cooking and the eating and the general food stuff that has been going on here.) But seriously, please come back soon because it’s not funny without you here. Ian and your father are far too serious. Mary-Kate, Matthew and I can’t keep it going without your help. I’m the only real silly one. The other two are just jokers in training.
I already miss your silly bear-stopping grin and your devilish laugh. I miss your hulking body at the end of my dining room table. I miss you spamming MK on facebook while she is upstairs and you are down. I miss you imitating Brian Reagan. I miss that primitive “yawp” that you give out when you are working out with the kettlebells. They even obliterated the dents in the stones of the driveway already.

Teeheehee! “Yawp…” I’m so glad you got to spend such a great chunk of time with your son!
(By the way, that buffet is gorgeous!)
@JMHardens060703 - I have the china closet that goes with that server. They belonged to my in-laws when they were married. I had to wait until he died to get them back because he didn’t like me very much. They look perfect in my dining room.
Prayers for his safety. Hugs to you!
