My parents...It is hard for me to write this because I just get so tearful. I miss them so, so much. My mom got to spend 22 years with me at her side, and then I flew from the nest and moved to the US. We are the best of friends and did everything together when I lived in South Africa. I wish so much I could just go shopping with them, I remember saturdays the 3 of us would go down to the beach for breakfast and then onto the malls to "mooch" about, dad and I would gang up on mom and tease her, then they'd have their turn to tease me about my fashion choices...They probably had good reason :-)
I last saw my parents two years ago in 2006. I am excited to see them November this year when Nate will finally meet them and then again for the wedding in 2009. Such treasured moments. My dad will walk me down the asile which is a very precious gift for the both of us, I left so soon after college that I didn't get to enjoy some of my adult years with him.
A "piece of me" resides with my parents in South Africa, in 2001 I "shipped" my other blue eyed boy, my ragdoll cat. I knew that with my folks he would live the perfect life for his remaining years. I will always be grateful for the love they give my "skoops" I am so blessed to share that fine thread of love with them.
