ClovisakaLois says:Sorry you’re blue, but look at this wonderful pick that your emotions have led you to create…beautiful! (Hope you told your son 3 years is too long between visits.)

EPBCornell says:I’m bummed for you now, too, Nancy. I hate goodbyes & missing people I love when they go away again. I hope you have another visit sooner than the last — 3 years IS too long and grandchildren grow up so fast. Maybe you want to go back over the good memories you made with them this visit and call your granddaughter soon to chat about them, “Remember when we…” Even little stuff. It may feel good to think about the good visit, and the chat would have her feel valued and know how much her visit meant to you, too. Feel better! Keep loving deeply.

dolllady aka Pam says:Nancy this is a lovely blue pick to show how down in the dumps you feel. I understand how you are feeling. I just got back from Iowa a week ago. I meet with some friends I haven’t seen in over 31 years. We had a great time every time we met in my 10 day stay. Another friend I haven’t seen in 11 years. I’m missing all of them.
