I had an awesome visit with my son, daughter, and her fiance. Plus my niece and her two children came up for an overnight. We spent a day in Canada (despite the pouring rain) and did the boat ride up to Niagara Falls, took the incline railcar, had a fabulous lunch, hiked around, and then the next day we did the U.S. side of the Falls, a lot more hiking, and had lots of fun talking over meals at the kitchen table and sharing laughs.
After they left today, I walked back in the house, saw all the empty chairs in the kitchen that we squeezed around the little round table. We have a huge dining room table that we all could have eaten around, but chose to squeeze 6 adults and 2 kids around a table meant for 4. We made good memories, but the sight of all those empty chairs seemed too abrupt for my heart, so I turned around immediately, grabbed the dog and went to take him for a run. I'd deal with the empty, quiet house, and these emotions later.
