Missing you

Coming back from Austin this weekend, I am struck by how solitary and quiet my life is. Anna & Colin are so full of life and love, and I delight in being around them. But when I leave, there is such a huge hole in my heart. Their absence is more acute when I first leave.

Jennifer and Anna dropped me off at the airport. As I was waiting to board the plane, my phone rang. It was Anna saying, “I wish you could come back right now.” Me, too.

I feel the EXACT same way when I
leave their house! I miss each of thier different,yet sweet personalities.I just love going to visit them...and HATE the leaving part!

Glad you had a good time,though, Em!

Wow, Em, what a total compliment. It was great having you here, too.

There was one point when we were sitting on the couch in the calm after the storm (the kids were finally in bed), and I thought about how your life is full of calm, quiet moments and sweet solitude, and my life not so much. I guess you need balance in everything, eh?

BTW, Anna sent Emily an email today. She told me she wanted it to say how much she likes playing with her!
