sadness

Well, I'm officially on my own. I took Whitney and Drew to the airport today and I decided I'd go inside and help them check in, that way Whit wouldn't have to keep an eye on Drew. The agent was so incredibly nice to us. He even gave me a pass to get through security so I could be with them at the gate...how great is that?!! It totally made my day. Drew was great while we waited, he watched some of Finding Nemo and was playing with a christams tree they had there. When they finally called for boarding...that's when I started to loose it. I bent down and Drew gave me a hug, I kissed him and then watched them walk away. I stood by the window which is ground level and watched. Drew turned around and waved at me! That's when I lost it. He was so excited, he had this bounce in his walk as he headed to the plane. You could see his happiness in that walk! When he got to the plane, he looked back at the window and waved at me again, and went inside. That's when I had to leave. I kept telling myself, "Just get to the car, you can make it!" As soon as I headed home, the tears started flowing. He hasn't been gone an hour and I already miss him. Man, I am such a baby. All I can do now is pray they get to Salt Lake safely...I'll be waiting their phone call telling me they got there.
