I am excited to announce that I am finally going back to visit my family back east! I have not been back since my father’s funeral and that was a year and 1/2 ago!
I can hardly wait to see my family, but I am also nervous because I know it is going to be very difficult. I am not sure what I will do with all my time, (you know aside from taking care of both girls on my own YIKES).
I am so used to being able to sit up until the wee hours of the morning chatting with my dad or popping into Charlie’s to have some chicken strips and smell the fried clams and have my dad showing me one thing or 12 others on his computer in the kitchen. Perhaps we can just drive by Charlie’s and pretend his is busy working… that wouldn’t be too far fetched.
Even Bella has mentioned that “it is going to be weird not to see grandpa”. Ah my sweet girl, she misses him so much! They have such a special connection, she sees him everywhere and it is so real to her when she sees a man that looks like him. I can not even explain the connection they have, it is really something out of this world!
On a positive note, I can hardly wait to put my feet in the sand and listen to the ocean softly lapping at the shore, while my skin sizzles into the latest shade of RED! I can almost smell the sweet trees in the hot humid air, the beach ahh home, only not.
I hope Keira likes the beach as much as her sister and I do! And I hope she does well on a 6 hour red eye flight!
South Shore here we come!
Ahh Brant Rock a view from the sea wall at Charlie's
