Well, I took the kids and STBX off to the airport this morning. Before they boarded we stopped at the airport coffee shop and got coffee and snacks. One of the servers asked "is this separate?" and the other server looked at us, smiled and said "No, they're a family". Wow, a tearjerker moment there for me! I held back, and thought how wonderful it is for others to look at us and still think "family"! We sat and talked about previous trips to China "do you remember this?" or "I remember when we...", it was really nice. Afterwards I walked them to the boarding area and youngest burst into tears, I held her, told her I'd miss her too, and that we'll be back together in three short weeks. I kissed the oldest and hugged her and then took STBX's head in my hands and gave her a kiss on the forhead. I wished her a great trip and asked her to give my love to her family. It was all worth the $16.00 for parking I then drove directly to work arriving just on time. Now I can get back to cultivating the plant life around here! Plastic plants?...WTH! Are they blow up?
