Even though I know we will all be together in this house in the future, I also know that this was most likely the last time we would all be LIVING here together. Wow! The magnitude of this thought brings tears to my eyes!
Seeing my garage filled with all that they would be taking with them kept reminding me of how temporary this time was.
We had talked about taking a family vacation together during this time, but the idea was nixed in favor of relaxing at home. So we did normal things. We watched Master Chef together on Monday nights. The girls watched The Bachelorette (Adam would never admit to watching such a show, but he spent a lot of time standing in the kitchen while it was on, asking lots of questions!). Some of Adam's friends spent time with us - Emily, Kayla and Pat. Lucas came over so that Adam could whoop him at badminton. We went to the beach.
The one thing we did most often, though, was drive to Collins Creamery in the evening for ice cream.
So on our final night all together, after having dinner at home with Grandma Alice, we headed to Collins one last time. Kerry's friends Mel and Parker came along with us.
There were many towns having their 4th of July fireworks displays that night and we were fortunate to be able to watch them over the corn field as we ate our cones.
Before we left, Adam and Kerry took a picture with their grandmother.
Then Mel offered to take a picture of our whole family.
This was the last time Kerry would see Parker before leaving.
There would be many more good-byes to come.
All good things must come to an end.
