Airport goodbyes......

Sometimes goodbye is really difficult.  Declan, age 10, almost always cries the day he has to leave to go back to Boston.  He misses his cousins, aunts and uncles and grandparents, but he especially misses me.  We have a wonderful connection that's been there since he was a wee one.  I don't know how it will be in a few years when he's bigger and more grown up, so for now I will cherish the long hugs goodbye and remember the teary eyes.  (daughter Christie took this shot with her I-phone....)
