Pat and I flew to Indiana today. We had a brief layover in Chicago and actually saw people in the airport. You can tell that Chicago is a bigger airport. We picked up the rental car and arrived at Cassie's about 6:30, just in time for dinner. Pat had turkey and the rest of us had spaghetti. Cassie was trying to be very considerate of his diet.
I went in first and when the littlest man realized I was there he gave me a super big hug and then went running to share "his" news with his big sister. All the kids were surprised and happy. It is really nice to be loved that much. Then Pat came in and both big kids ran to him. First words out of the little woman's mouth was "did you bring the dogs"? No, no he did not.
After the kids went to bed we watched Cassie put together all the stockings. The big kids are going to love that. And they have not seen a pile of gifts that big ever. It is different when there are four kids.
Cassie made a comment about she should just have a room for me. And when people would comment about her guest room she would say no, that is Dawn's room. Sure feels like part of me has moved in. I have a coffee cup, toothbrush and paste, shampoo and conditioner and soap. All the things I need. And I just make myself at home now. Maybe that means we need to look for a five bedroom house when they are ready for a mortgage.
It is good to be here with my heart. I feel content.
