The last few years, this long, four-day weekend has been among my favorites each year. This year, it just doesn't feel the same. For one thing, it was kind of a busy week. Last evening, Andrew had parent conferences, so it was nearly 8:00 before he got home. I had taken Thomas to a meeting, so it was nearly 8:30 before we were home together. Today, he still had to work, and this afternoon he left to go visit his mom. I had a doctor appointment that is never fun, but it's done and everything is fine. After having the year off last year, we have swim commitments again this year. Andrew will be back Sunday, so at least we have a day together. He's still on the road this evening, and I'll be glad when he gets there. And of course, Catherine isn't here and while it is absolutely wonderful that she is enjoying college so much and is doing well on her own, I miss her tremendously. It's the way life goes though. When adding my emotions about the passing of Luke, it's just not a fun relaxing, long weekend that I would like it to be. Grateful for a little bit of down time though.
