Let Summer Begin

The boys are home, after a safe drive from Chattanooga and filling our extra room on the lower level with their belongings, along with some of their roommates clothes left behind. Tonight our table was transformed from us having a quick bite to a two hour round table of constant conversation.

For a moment I felt that hollow place in my heart be filled with joy and hope for Tony and David's futures, reminiscent of the times Joe would return full of stories of the school year and what was to come.

Having always loving to hear Joe, Tony and David's chatter at dinner, tonight I was lulled into a comforting place being surrounded by that sound once again.
