A Sister with Hopes

Hello everyone!  This is Summer's oldest daughter Taylor and I'm going to inform you of my parents' progress.  Well, bright and early this morning, at 8:30 a.m. (early to me at least) everyone was up and about to see my parents off.  My dad was walking back and forth through out the whole house making sure everything was shipshape as my mom was laughing and acting as nothing was out of the norm.  After an hour of procrastinating and what not, my parents decided it was time to depart to Erie for their first flight.  With some hugs, kisses, "i love you"'s and "be good"'s they were off.  Naturally, Owen (3 years old) was not happy with them leaving.  My mom even sensed that he knew they'd be gone for 2 weeks... possibly 3.  I could tell it was hard for my mom and dad, too.  To be honest, I, at 16, have never been away from my mom for 2+ weeks.  But "it will all be worth it when [Isabelle] is home", said my mom... and she's right.  Well, they successfully arrived at Philadelphia and are on their 8 hour flight.  Pray for their safety!  Mom and Dad, I know you'll do great. :)
