I Hate Goodbyes

My Mom left today. Oh, man it hurts. I hated seeing her go. I cried well into the evening. And I'll start up again any minute I'm sure of it. She stayed with us for 12 days helping me with everything while I recovered. I loved every second of having her help, and her company. I was so sad to have to say goodbye and be reminded of how far apart we live, and how much I miss her and my family.
Watching her say goodbye to my kids was almost more than I could bare.
We were so spoiled during her stay. She cooked us amazing meals and treats, stocked our fridge and freezer full of food dinners for the next month, cleaned our house, did our laundry, and helped us with Miley and Scotlin. We told her it felt like we have a personal chef, maid, and nanny. We were so grateful to have her here, and she will be so missed!

It IS so hard to let them go. I tell ya, everytime we go back to Utah, I cry big time when it's time to say goodbye, even though I know it'll only be a handful of months until we see them again. It's just not fun! Hang in there!!! Big hugs to you Jess!

Don't you just love mom's?! I was so grateful to have my mother come after Logan was born. Not only was she a great help, but a great friend and example. I learned a lot about being a mother from her and gained so much more appreciation for her. I'm glad she could come for so long!

Oh my goodness I know just how you feel. I know I live significantly closer to home than you do, but I can relate a little. When we dropped off the Blands at the airport a couple weeks ago I thought I have to go through the "adjustment phase" all over again....and I hadn't even completely finished it before they came to visit!
Your new little one is so precious. Keep posting pictures!

Yuck I know how you feel lady. It never gets any easier. It is just something to endure.
Also where did you get Miley's knit brown sweater? Super cute!

Mom's are the best!! It's great she was able to stay so long. I remember thinking when my mom left after the boys were born "How am I going to do this without her"? I'm sure your doing great. Love the pics.

I agree, saying goodbye is the worst! I am so glad that she was there to help you for as long as she did, what a huge blessing.

I know how you feel! My mom stayed with us for 2 weeks when I had Sadie and I cried when she left us! Taylor would walk around looking for Grandma... So sad!!! I hope you are doing okay and you look amazing!
