We talked to David again last night. I wasn’t even on the phone with him for 2 minutes before he started crying. Made me cry, too. I had to explain to him that he only had 2 more sleeps before he’d see us again. It was about all I could take. “I miss you so much, Mommy, and I miss Daddy, and Nathaniel and the dogs, too.” All said amid the sobs of a 6 year old.” And I love you so much, and I miss you so much and I want you to come and get me now.” Talk about ripping out my heart and stomping on it. This morning Richard and I were wondering who he was going to hug first. Richard’s theory? Whoever he sees first.
Here are the reunion pictures I mentioned earlier. Many thanks to Nancy, Sam and Will for taking them!

All of the 2nd cousins. My brother, Chris, is behind me in the light blue shirt.

David and Nathaniel are on the far right, with the cousins that are under 10.
