The girls adore them, Savannah especially. It was really hard for the big girl to say goodbye because she knew there were so many things she was going to miss about them staying in the house. The tears from Savannah started flowing a week in advance because she is now old enough to know how hard the goodbye is going to be.
Surprisingly, Miss Lila had a breakdown the night before departure. I was surprised to see her authentically heartbroken upon realizing that Grammy and Papa were going to go back to their house. I expected her to be sad the day of but not to breakdown in a restaurant the night before.
As a mother, it is very painful to watch broken hearts play out before my eyes, knowing there is nothing I can do to make it better. So, we sucked it up, dropped them off at the airport, shed too many tears and opted for a Home Depot distraction on the way home. For a store we never frequent, my girls had a great time!! It was just what we needed.
A week later, we are back to normal, tears have subsided and we are enjoying being a family unit once again.
