Always the same thing saying goodbye… we promise not to cry, always try to keep a date in mind for our next reunion, and kiss each other for as long as we can 😘 until the airport staff shoo us away 😂 😬 It’s always the hardest the first week after they leave, but I’m doing my best to stay distracted.
