He left Sunday afternoon.  He’ll come home Thursday evening.

Thursday seems far away.

The weather is great.  I know he’s having fun.  I still miss him.

I’ve been writing him letters (but not too many because I never liked singing “Gray Squirrel” in front of all the other campers).

His brother misses him too.  On the way to the bus on Sunday, I saw this in the backseat.

I think this is difficult for me because I’m not there to share it with him…camp is just for him and his friends.  This is a good thing with many more such opportunities coming his way as he grows each year.

I still miss him.  I guess, in a sense, I always will.

    I’m so glad I didn’t read this until today! I miss my boys too!! I’m certain they’re having fun without us! They’ll probably seem so much more grown-up when they get back too!!
