She left

My mother's visit ended today. It was very nice to have her visit. I'm not sure who is next, but I think it happens in May.

I hate goodbyes that will be followed by long absences. A lot of it has to do with the fact that I never really know if I will see the person again. Not a morbid thought, I swear! But things happen.

It really sucks that we can't hang out with people in the waiting area anymore. Say goodbye at the security checkpoint...it's all so rushed. At least there was a reason to say "love you, goodbye and come back soon."
