Tomorrow morning it's the Mustang Express from Oceanside to take him "home".
 
Feeling thankful, but sad - the parting is easier when it's "I'll see you in a month for a whole three weeks." Now it's "I'll see you for a week in three whole months."
 
We know now that we'll be fine. That when he's staying here it's like he never left (but of course he wouldn't be this well behaved if he had never left). In fact, staying with us for a whole summer might be a little too much 🙂 (wish that could be distributed a little more even (along with rain in California)).
 
As much as we fill these new vacancies in our new lives, however richly, there is nothing that quite replaces the original occupant our hearts grew so big for.
