Today was the annual pool party at my aunt's house. I enjoyed hanging out with the family, although that side is full of way too much drama. Regardless, it is fun to get together. My mom and grandmother came down, and for my grandmother, it was her last chance to see Robert. Just like my mother-in-law (which I managed to avoid), my grandmother cried when said good-bye. That really gets to me. Everyone made a point to say goodbye to him, and my aunt became emotional as well. Next week my mom & sister are coming down again to see him. I can do all right until someone else gets emotional..and they are.
We've learned that we are actually supposed to take him to Columbus next weekend, and we have the opportunity to see him sworn in that Monday morning. Unfortunately, I can't make that happen on a week's notice because that is band camp. We've decided we will all take him over and get him checked in, and that will be the time for goodbye for Catherine, Thomas, and myself. Andrew will drive back over early Monday morning. I have a feeling this next week is going to be pretty draining.
