Felix Leaves

Felix left for home today. It was a tough early morning. His flight left at 6:30am and he won't get home until tomorrow at 8:00am. We all feel the emptiness in the house with him gone. I've been dreading this day for weeks and once it finally arrived, it hit us like a ton of bricks. Andrew cried all the way home because his brother is gone. I think the hardest for Andrew will be tonight. The boys always spent a lot of time talking and laughing at night. After a year, Felix became such a part of our family that letting him go was awful especially when it will be a long time until we see him again. It's not like he lives in Florida, he is on another continent.
