We've written before about comings and goings. It's one of the hardest things about our lives here: We get to know people, get close, get to be friends, and then they leave.
This week we said the hardest goodbye of all: our daughter Amy has lived here on the island very nearby for a little over three years. Sunday she, husband Miguel, and our two grandchildren Kennedy and Kaiden moved back to the States for work.
I cannot begin to tell you how hard this is. Until you have been a grandparent it is impossible to understand what it means. I love our children more than I can tell you (or them!). But the grandparent thing is a totally different experience, better in someways, worse in others, but absolutely amazing. It's like a drug in a way: once you have it, you need more of it and more often. And now we're going cold turkey.
With tears in our eyes and total love in our hearts, we wish them the absolute best as they start this new adventure. And remember - there is always Puerto Rico Summer Camp.
