Day 75

I think Bridger is a little home sick right now. He had a melt down because he couldn’t remember what pants he wanted to wear. I tried to have him describe what they looked like. Through his sobs and alligator tears he said “they are the color of dirt” the only problem was I only brought jeans for him to wear and none were brown. According to him they were “all wrong” and he fell asleep sobbing while I held him on his bed. Lately every time he says his prayers he gets all choked up like he is going to cry and he says “And bless my friends that I had to move a way from”. He is physically doing well but I think emotionally it is wearing on him. Today one of the family’s we met here in the RV center brought us a freshly baked loaf of pumpkin bread. It is these small and simple things that get us day to day. We have had an out poring of them. Thank you all so much for your kindness.

  3. tell bridger we get homesick all the time too. for Olivia it was the red swing that we had to leave and for Ethan it was our yard and for me it was my friends, who I still sometimes sob for. I just tell myself that we can all find us in our memories and look forward to the eternity we will have to catch up. this life is but a moment...
