Feeling Sad

It has been a week since my brother accepted a new job. He called last Saturday to say he had accepted a position with a company that he thought was a chance in a lifetime. He also said he was leaving Sunday morning...like the next day!! I am happy that Chad is on a new adventure and that he is doing something he really enjoys, but I still miss him!!

Chad was in the Air Force and was gone for a few years. It was difficult for me to tell him goodbye then and each time he was home and then left again. All of that came back to me last Saturday when I had to tell him goodbye. He will be working all over the country and I don't know when he will be back again. I know in my head that he will be back sooner than I think, but my heart is still sad that he is not here. I guess I had gotten really used to seeing him multiple times during the week. I also got very used to him spending the evenings with me and my little family!!

Garrett and Isabel also miss their Uncle Chad. They have asked me a number of times this week if "Is Uncle Chad coming over?". That shows me they have gotten used to him being at our house and that they have gotten used to Uncle Chad being at my folks when they are there.

I wish my brother all the luck in his new job and his new adventure!!! I can still be sad though!!! I guess that shows how much I love him!!!
