This was Gio's last get together with his buddy C, before C moved to the other side of the country.
Now all I hear is, "I'm never going to see C, again," AND "Let's move to where C lives now."
Sadly, I knew C wasn't going to be around long, when we made friends with him and his sweet family. And I'll admit for a split second my Abandonement issues spoke out against forming a bond with these gypsies, but I calmed the voice.
"Don't worry lots of people have left us before and we've been okay," I say soothingly.
I continued on with, "besides, we never no know how long we have with anyone, even if they never plan on moving, our paths may only intersect for a short time, or for intermittent periods through out our lives."
And then I sealed the deal with that nagging voice in my head, "but a friend, no matter whether they are near or far physically, is someone who is always close to our hearts."
And it hurts to hear my son long for the company of his friend, so I had to come up with a solution, one we need to at least try: Skype, video conferencing via the Internet.
Are you in Jenn?
