It's unavoidable...One moment it's all there and the next you're staring wistfully at the last slice knowing, it too, will soon be gone.
I feel a little like that at the moment in respect of my brother's visit here; It'll soon be over and he, his wife and my little nephew will be heading back home to the top of Australia, a long way from here. It's been great to see them of course, so much fun to have them around, but I find myself wishing they could stay. I'll miss them.
My nephew has bonded really well with me taking up from where we left off at Christmas when they were down last. He calls out for me and it's uncle this and uncle that which is really cool for me. He's a good little boy, expressive, funny, intelligent and really good-natured. I'm going to miss him a lot.
A few days ago their flights got cancelled for no apparent reason and I was happy that they would be around for longer although they have since got new flights...A day earlier than the original ones which sucks!. Bummer!
So, they're flying back tomorrow.
Today we're hanging around at home and we're cooking up a big meal for tonight. When I say we I mean the girls; My wife Faith and sister in-law. The boys, my bro, nephew and myself, are doing other more important things...Playing with Lego. 😂 (Don't worry, we'll do the washing up so it evens out.)
I've had a really nice time with them during this unexpected visit. Their reason for coming here was our dad's funeral and had they not come down for it we wouldn't have seen them until mid-2021 so I shouldn't complain about them leaving, I should be grateful they were here! And I am of course.
It'll be sad to say goodbye to them tomorrow although we have no choice. We've got the memories though, and our visit to their part of Australia to look forward to next year.
Anyway, right now all this talk is making me hungry an I have this piece of tasty orange cake to eat, and a coffee to drink.
I hope y'all are having a great weekend.
Design and create your ideal life, don't live it by default - Tomorrow isn't promised.
Be well
