Leaving Home

Well, after a year and a half of planning and dreaming we finally got started on the trip of a life time.  Saying bye was hard but I managed it without bawling, sobbing or making a general fool of myself.  The boys didn't care one iota that their Mommy and Daddy where leaving.  I'm sure they will at some point, but at that time it was time to party with Naomi and the sooner we left the better.  Naomi is a champ and handled it fantastically.  She got those boys out of the airport before I became a mess.  It was a moment of war between my heart and mind.  It was if the two could no longer live in the same body.  My mind knew it was the best thing for everyone for those boys to stay behind but my heart would have none of that logic.  It just about tore me in two.
