Saying goodbye...


It has been a sad 24 hours in the Burch household. We dropped Charles off at the ship around 4 yesterday and said our goodbyes. It was definitely difficult to remain strong for the children, but overall I did relatively well. This morning I woke the children up and prepared them to wave goodbye to Charles from the pier. We waved for about an hour, I took lots of pictures and was surprised not one tear fell. I will miss Charles greatly, he is such a wonderful man. I do however know that with a family like all of you, the children and I will be supported, loved immensely, and well taken care of. I am grateful for your love and prayers. Please continue to pray for our family to remain strong while Charles is away.

Here is a picture I thought was fitting for the day.

Love,
Melissa
