I had to say say goodbye early this morning to Mario. He is going to Colombia for a week. He'll fly back one day to spend with the family and then he is flying out to Dominican for another week. Before his deployment, these small trips were not a big deal, but now it is hard to say goodbye because it reminds me of the morning he deployed.
I was surprised he was coming back for one day. I thought he should just fly to Miami and visit his family there. But he insists on coming home. It is a lot of traveling and I know he will be exhausted. But then I realized that he will be home on Sunday night to give the kids back to school blessings since they start school the next morning, July 18. He will be able to drop off Erin, Nathan, and Zachary for their first day before he heads to the airport. High school doesn't start until that Friday, so I have a few days to spend with just Eric. I always look forward to one-on-one time with each of my kids.
These small trips aren't so bad. Plus they are a great time for him to practice his Spanish.

Too bad you can't travel with him! You are really good about spending one on one time with your kids. I need to be better at that, but just having two kids, I feel bad for leaving one out. Oh well, they can go to therapy over it later in life! LOL
I'm glad Mario will be home next Saturday even if it is only for a day and half. I know being with his family means so much to him.
