It took us hours to pack, and we were gone about 6 hrs. and now we are home. Preston was worrying, then he would be excited, then he would be tired, etc. etc., finally he started to cry; tears were rolling down his face. He wanted so bad to go on the trip but didn't feel he was able to go. So we went into Cracker Barrel and ate, and shopped in the store, then came home. And we had to unpack everything we had packed, but with Jr. helping Missie and I, it wasn't too bad. It was much faster unpacking then it was packing.
So Missie and I have shed our tears, too, and we must pick up and go on with life. My mom is extremely disappointed, of course, and had bought all my favorite foods. I just needed to be spoiled for a few days. But God knows all about it; He is in control. I told Mom next spring Missie and I would fly up to NY and rent a car and drive on up for a few days. I hope nothing happens to her until I can see her at least one more time. Sometimes I just don't understand why some people have it so easy, and some don't, in life. It seems the older I get, the harder it is on me.
Jr. is on vacation until June 2nd, so we are going to do a few things with kids around here and get some stuff done around here.
Just wanted to update you on these happenings.

Oh Norma,
I am so sorry - I have been thinking about you a lot today and saying prayers for your safe journey.
I hope you have some rest while Jr is off work.
My heart goes out to to you and your mum.
Take care.
Norma,
I'm was so sad to read that you didn't get to go on your trip as planned. I too second your statement on why some have it so easy while other have such a time of it. You are right though that everything that happens is in God's hands and who are we to question (even though that is what we want to do). I was excited for you that you would see your Mom again. I know that feeling of hoping you get to see them just one more time. I will keep on praying that happens for you. Please try to get some rest too this week while Jr. is home. You need to take care of you too.
With lots of love from you blogger buddy,
Tina
Norma, My heart breaks for you. I feel your disappointment. We have had a few of those times also with our daughter. Infact we have tickets purchased to fly to Kansas in July to visit our son and his family. We are also nervous about how Naomi will do on the plane. This is her first trip. I trust the little trips you take with your children near to home will be a hugh memory maker in their lives. Make time for yourself. God cares when we need to cry out our disappointment to Him. You will be rewarded for your faithfulness to your son in Heaven one day. God Bless you, Cathy
