Saying our goodbye at the airport... July 29, 3015

 Tender... James is the best brother. He is so much fun to be around. If James is with you, you are having a party. His little sisters are so proud of him. We are really going to miss him!

 I love this strong embrace between Grant and James. Melts me heart.

 I didn't realize this was my last hug. I didn't want to let go. I am proud of my son. It is bitter sweet. A little bitter and a lot sweet. I think sadness comes from all the memories of life and how fast childhood goes. I love my only son. He has a huge part of my heart!

 Some friends came to the airport, Kade, Rhett, James, Chandler and Riley. All these young men have their mission calls and will be leaving within a month of each other. Riley is next in 2 weeks.

 It's official... he is leaving for his mission!

 Jill Brown & Jill Coon. Our boys have been good friends since 2nd grade. Scottie and James flew to the MTC together on the same plane. What a blessing to have a close friend on the same plane. Jill and I have a mother cry session for just a few minutes!  Proud of our boys!

 Now that James is gone.. we have adopted Riley as our brother for 2 more weeks! He is such a great friend. He actually feels like a son. Happy Riley is fun to be around. Driving home.... now what do we do?
