goodbye

We find ourselves in the place where we are just weeks from leaving and the family have had their last visits. For the foster side this means that we will chat on the phone, use skype and look forward to a non specific time in about 2 years time when we will be in the same room again as Grandpa and grandma...not an idea of when we may see the aunts and uncles and cousins. For the Ladd side it is looking to be a hard transition as well. Nana has been able to fly down every few months...just to see the kids as they grow. we look forward to seeing them in a year or so...

this is the first time that I (Kevin) have felt like this "chosen" life has been a sacrifice.

we miss you Foster and Ladd families even as we know that we have your full support and sadness as we leave.
