My parents live far away from us.
They come at least once a year to visit and spend some time with us. Today my mom left after 5 weeks visit.
It's always so hard to say goodbye. I need to remind the kids (and myself...) the famous say by Dr. Seuss:
"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened"...
It is so important to teach them not to be upset because something is over but instead to appreciate what we have and the memories that we made together.
See you soon mommy!
