Hasta Luego

November 1, 2009.  My in-laws left today.

It was such a wondeful weekend, filled with joyful moments.  It (and their trip to visit) felt way too short.  There were awards ceremonies, preschool costume parades, wins, losses, lions and tigers and bears.  I laughed.  I cried.  It was better than Cats.

Briefly, it was magical.

I’ve discovered more and more how much it means to me to have family in my life.  I mean that in the broadest definition of family I can think of.  A group of people that love each other pretty much no matter what.  No member of that family is perfect, so we all get to learn from each other.  We learn how to be patient.  We learn how to be soft.  We learn how to love unconditionally.

Saying goodbye to family yesterday was painful.  But I’m not sure that it really had to be.  Because it wasn’t goodbye.  It was hasta luego.  “Until later.”

And that’s what I think it always is with family.  :)
