For the past 4 years we have been surrounded by young guys who we have trained with or who have been on our team. They have eaten countless meals at our house, spent holidays with us, and loved on our kids like uncles. They have all gone home now, either because their time is up on the team or they are going home to rest for a while before getting back to the work in about a year. Our most recent team members are all visiting with their moms right now, which I must admit, makes me feel more at ease, since I know their moms are making sure they are well fed.
We have been really busy since the last one left just a couple of weeks ago, but to be honest, we don’t know what to do with ourselves. The house is quiet and we actually have leftovers. We miss those guys who we have taken care of and looked up to at the same time. As Trent likes to say in sad moments, “One day soon we’ll all be dead and then we can be together forever.” He has a way with words, doesn’t he.
Y’all never fail to make me smile/laugh! I know y’all must miss the guys like crazy! I do look forward to that day we’re all together, too.
