Day 227: Oh, How I Have Missed You!!

My Daddy & Step-Mommy came up for a visit!! I hate using the word "Step" but it just makes it easier for people to understand, I do have many Mom's & Dad's, so I have to use the word "Step" or "In-Law" to make things a little easier when explaining or talking about someone. Even the kids will ask, You're Mom, Dad's Mom, ect. Just like when we just say "Grandma" or "Grandpa" the kids say, which one?! But with my Dad & Step-Mom, it's Busia & Dzia-Dzia, which means Grandma & Grandpa in Polish. They know exactly who we are talking about. LOL But anyways....I was SO happy they came up for a visit because I have missed them immensely. I lived with my Dad & Step-Mom before moving up here in 97' at 17 years old. I would come up her to visit my Mom at vacation times so I have always had a hard time with goodbye's. I'm almost 35 years old, and I cried when they left today. I hate that we live so far away, I know 4 hours isn't nothing compared to what others may have to travel to visit their Mom or Dad. We had a really nice visit, and I just wished we could have more time to spend together. But in the words of Dr. Seuss, Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. And that I am. :) I am so glad that this visit happened.
