Well, this was my last day in South Carolina. Therefore, it was a very solemn one.
First, Mary woke up sick, so I had to spend my day pretty much alone, without my sidekick. I spent the morning in a dentist chair getting a broken tooth fixed. Then, I piddled around at the mall, while I waited on my lunch date with Frankie's dad. I met him and his wife, Jane, at Lizard's Thicket in West Columbia. I couldn't eat much, because my mouth was still numb, but I did enjoy getting to chat a bit before I had to head off.
I can't express how difficult this day was for me. I was very sad! There are so many people that I love in South Carolina! I felt like I was being pulled away from a part of my soul. I didn't want to let it go. I tried to linger as long as I could without missing my flight. I didn't know when I would see them again.
My soul was crying out, "NO!!!!"

However, I had to stop procrastinating and just leave.
So, Nanny and Papa drove us to the airport. :(

As painful as it was to leave, though, I DO LOVE my family in Vegas! I was excited to get back to them as well. They bring me so much joy! It was a bittersweet occasion!...saying goodbye was hard, but also returning to other loved ones was exciting.
Gabriel was just starting his SC vacation. As Mary and I were leaving the Columbia airport, Gabriel was arriving. It was nice to see each other in passing...
Here he is coming down the terminal.
He had a good experience flying all by himself as a minor.
I'm just glad he made it SAFE! Mary and I got our hugs... ... gave a quick welcome.

Then I gave Gabriel some well wishes to enjoy himself on his vacation. )I know he certainly didn't need me telling him that, but you know mothers. LOL)
I handed Gabriel over to his Grandma...
