Tongan Family

Well, we took my in-laws to the airport yesterday. It was very tough. We had family prayer in the morning which started the tears. Then the trip to Salt Lake. We had to make some stops along the way so we could get some more stuff for them to take. The girls got creative at one of the spots and decided to relax on all the boxes. Once we got to the airport we were so lucky to have a Tongan lady checking us in. She was so helpful and let some of our bags go that weighed more than 50lbs. She had to get them a different flight than planned because the flights were all delayed so they ended up going to San Francisco instead of LA. We were in such a big hurry because of the flight changes so there wasn't much time for C-ya laters. We gave them hugs and kisses and told them to come back soon. As they were going through security Braxton yelled and said, "See ya later Grandpa". It took me back to the last time Grandpa came here and Braxton couldn't stop crying. This was just the same. He didn't want Grandpa to go and was sad and crying for most of the trip. We sure are going to miss them. I know they are happy to be back home but our house just isn't the same without them. Tevita told our kids that when they get older and try to move away, they have to live close to us so we don't have to go through good byes with them. They all said they would so let's mark that on the books! Anyways, thank you to Fine and Makalita and MJ for coming to stay with us. You will never know how much we appreciate you and love you. We are going to miss you so much and can't wait until you come back! Ofa atu!
