Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow


Can I just mention that my heart was broken this morning? Jackson and his daddy drove me to the airport. As I got out of the car I opened the back door to give Jackson a hug and kiss. He had the most worried expression on his face and as I leaned over to give him a kiss and tell him goodbye he grabbed my arm and started crying. I explained to him that I'd be coming back very soon and would bring Pops with me, but he would NOT let go of me! It broke my heart to have to pull away from him and leave! It still makes me cry just to think about it!

And now I'm officially 'stuck' at the Denver airport. I LOVE that we can fly standby via Ashley's employee benefits, but it's always a bit dicey to know if you'll be able to get on flights. I don't know what I was thinking trying to fly standby on a Sunday. So note to self, "Don't ever try to fly standby on the weekend!" Would have been better if I'd been 'stuck' in Dallas so I could go back and play with the grandbabies some more!! Lesson learned! There's an outside chance that I'll be able to get home (to Seattle not Yakima) by about 11 p.m. tomorrow! Good Times!
