I remember when.......

I had to remind my children when they were very young, that when they took their shoes off to put them where they can find them later. They were always losing their shoes, either one of them would run into the house, kick them off and where they landed was anyones guess.

I found a pair the morning after Annette and Seth left. At first being a little fuzzy headed just waking up, I got excited for a moment when I saw them there. I soon realized that they were left and she forgot to take them with her. Seths book he was reading before bed the night before is still on the table open to where he left off of the story.

They are not as far away as they were a year ago, when they were living across the ocean. I am so thankful for that, but still I miss seeing them when they are not here.
