Mom and dad are getting ready to head back to Ohio tomorrow, and their absence will be tough to get used to. As much as Donna and I love Southern California, it really doesn’t seem ‘complete’ without family nearby. Of course as their return flight approaches, I’ve heard of nearby places and thought of nearby places we haven’t been, and wish we could have more time together to go see some of them.
When I walked in the garage and saw mom doing laundry and getting the suitcases packed, I started racking my brain for ways I could talk them into staying a little longer.
