Saying .... see you later

I say see you later because I don't want to say good bye.  A few weeks ago, our friends moved back to their home, Texas.  We met them Browns shortly after they moved to Tennessee almost 6 years ago and became friends right away.  We met them through our church when they joined our home group.   Over the years, we enjoyed many birthday parties, family cook outs, girls night out, and even a trip to Africa.

After the house was packed, before they set off the next morning, we had a final ho-rah for the Browns with a few of their closest friends.  It was great to have everyone together to break bread one last time with the Browns as a group and to let our little ones play with EG and N.

 With their special gift that we gave them....a scrapbook page from each family.

Of course, I don't think Dylan understands what moving means but I tried to explain it as best as possible....him and N recently started playing a lot more together (N is a few years older)...and Dylan even asks about EG.   (Just the other day, I waved at a guy at the store and Dylan asked me if it was N's daddy.  I said no baby they live really far away. He said, it looks like N's Daddy.)

It was hard saying "see you later" to the Browns because they have been such a great family to know.  They are amazing parents, stand out servants, and great friends.  The next chapter in their life will soon unfold and I know that the people who they form friendships with will be blessed because of them.

You will be missed!!!
