Saying Goodbye

The day came... it had to come. I had been dreading that moment for the past 6 weeks. And there it was. I was not ready to bear it, but it had to happen. My family left last night to take Jeff and Amie to their new home in Winslow, Arizona. It's been a sad week, but last night was the worst. I did not want to let go of my brother. I will miss him so very much. And of course Amie too. She's been like a sister to me. Madison absolutely adores them and that is what hurts the most! She's too little to understand but she did feel sad when I told her we wouldn't be seeing them for a very long time. On our way home, out of no where, she said in the saddest little voice: "I'm willy willy goin' to miss them!" Talk about heartbreaking! It feels empty already. Especially since most of my family went with them to help. It's really going to take me awhile to get over this. I don't handle change very well, especially when it has to do with family. All I can think about for now is planning a trip to Arizona... and SOON!
