Wilson

So today starts my countdown to goodbye.  My bestie is leaving next week.  They were reassigned to Clovis, NM...and I can say honestly...I'm a little heartbroken.  It's tough to say goodbye to someone so special to you.  I still sob like a baby when I miss my Heather, and when we do see one another I sob like a baby when we seperate again.  This situation will be no different.  This week is going to be uber rough for me.  I'm trying to pack as much of her as I can into my days when I can though.  The closer the day gets next week the worse I'll be.  Jose may be my bestie for a while after she's gone LOL (get it?  yeah you get it).  I'm gonna work hard these next days to stay in control of my emotions...it won't be easy...I'm crying a little as I type this. 
So what's the significance of Wilson up there?  Ok so we jokingly tell one another that once we are far apart we're gonna need a Wilson to keep us company without one another.  Last night at a surprise going away party I gave her a going away gift just from me...her very own Wilson.  Of course the tears flowed and she said she was gonna sleep with it every night!  I told her if I had thought of it earlier I would have had her hubby secretly draw my face on it (he's a pretty talented artist BTW) but he can do it later when he gets all his supplies back if she wants him to. 
It is always hard to watch your "family" move away from you and not know how and when you'll see them again.  This is truely one of those times.  We have shared so much with them and them with us, and have been unbelieveably blessed to have them in our lives thus far.  They will never know how much we love them...but we can sure work hard at showing them every chance we get.
