Mindful Musings

My parents are leaving for home next week. Life is going to get a lot busier and I will have to get used to being by myself again (for a while). But that is what I start dreading the minute my parents actually come to visit me so I guess I am used to it by now (NOT!). I will however, be able to get more work done on WordPress and my other projects. Travelling is not easy for me parents and I always worry when they fly for long periods of time. Jennifer is going to be purchasing some Jobst stocking for them as soon as she finds some time.

We had a really nice weekend overall. Jim Coronado was visiting. Jim is an old family friend of the Molenda’s and is a really nice person. Linda, Jennifer’s mom, had a bunch of people over at their house through the weekend and we had a lot of fun driving around in the golf cart, taking pictures and jamming to music. Jennifer took some pictures of our family and they are posted here.

I miss my parents a lot when they are gone and though I like being a loner, their presence is very reassuring and leaves me with a lot less worry for them. When my parents left for home after their first visit five years ago, I felt sad for not having spent a lot of time with them when they were here. I distinctly remember that evening at the airport when I had dropped them off and was driving back home to my apartment at Wooster. Since then I make it a point to spend a lot of family time with them in spite of prior engagements/work, especially towards the end of their visit. I love my parents too much and the fact that Jennifer likes them as much as she does and will miss them, makes me very proud of her and brings us closer together as a couple (mushy, I know).
