Today we said goodbye to our youngest child, Chris. He’s leaving California to participate in a year-long training program with his work.

There are so many things that we will miss and so many things we have cherished over the past 22 years with him in our daily lives. Twenty-two years comes to a close with tears, prayer, hugs, and “I love you’s”. I’ve dreaded saying goodbye to him in the months leading up to today,. But I’m glad our goodbyes were filled with such abounding love.

And a few minutes later he had ascended the escalators and was off to begin his new adventure!
