Meltdown

I guess the final result has come.  Little Ryan, listening to his beloved Grandpa's voice on the phone tonight, just fell apart.  He wouldn't talk.  Just put his head under the covers of the bed and wept.  First tears all week.  I think today was the benchmark of his tolerance for being without the rest of his family.  He told me earlier that it was taking a long time for Robin to get back.  He misses his sister...and also asked earlier today who Grampa was taking care of...

God bless the little guy!  He has been as good as gold...totally unlike his little boy-nature.  He is ready to have his sister and family again. Tomorrow should help.  I will deliver him to his grandfather around 3:30 to go pick up his sister and other grandmother from the airport.  I think being with his sister will help him get through the next few days. 

Missing your family at age three has to be a different challenge.  He has done well for a week.  Now, he's done.  I respect that!

I'm going to bed now.  Have to move Ry off my side of the bed!  Wish me luck getting all connections made tomorrow!
