adieu caribou

On wednesday morning I said goodbye to three little people. We made a secret hiding spot and played tricks on Mike and Lindsey who were busy loading the car with the last of their belongings.

Little arms latched around my neck in the hallway and the little bodies they belonged to let little words run to my ears.

Tyler told me "I'm sorry you're not coming with us."
"Bye Ekenzie!" said my beautiful Bryce.
Kennedy's pacifier muffled the sounds coming out of her mouth.

I kissed my kids goodbye as I buckled them in and wished them well with a wave as they drove away. The car travelled round the bend and many tears were shed for the sake of those who sat inside it. I stayed in my pyjamas all day long.
