The Second Thing I am Going to Do….

Yann called

missing me

tempting me to foregoing quarantine

to come home…

he said,

“ Gabriel is coming here tomorrow,”

(you see Chelsea and Martin will be with us for summer as Martin can work from home,)

Yann continued,

“… and I am going to cuddle him, play roll the ball with him, smell his sweetness, push him in the swing and do all the things you cannot do cause you won’t be here.”
I laughed at his sweet tease and said…

“The second thing I am going to do after I love You up is squeeze Gabriel the Butterball until every drop I have missed gathers up into one big happy juicy hello. So you better do what you can because when I get home I am never putting him down.”

In a few more days I will be home

time will evaporate as it does

and it will feel like the never ending river flow

of life.

    My Dear Corey, I’m weeping with joy for you and your family!!! Blessings to all

  2. How beautiful and wonderful are reunions. God teaches us patience during this time on many levels.
    God bless you all and keep us all safe.
    Love Jeanne

  3. Men are such tricksters, steady on the path! 🙂

  4. The greatest gift you can give your waiting family is to self-quarantine. Take the long view. And in the meantime, enjoy the Paris apartment you so lovingly gathered furnishings for to create a home away from home.

    And you’ll always have warm memories of the golden months you spent in Willows. I guess quarantine means you call out for food delivery…or maybe its ok to shop and get coffee in brief, masked interactions. Glad you will all spend the rest of the summer together.

    So close, a few more days will only make the reunion that much more special. Enjoy your solitude.

  7. So happy for you! Oh the anticipation!

  8. Please don’t forgo the quarantine. It’s an act of love to protect your family.

  9. So happy you are back at home in France. 🙂

  10. So beautiful how family can make you overflow with happiness!

    How wonderful that you five will be together for the rest of the summer? (Will Sacha be able to join you?) Very happy for you and your French family, Leslie😘

  12. Very soon you will be home with Yann and that is exciting. G has really grown. Beautiful little boy.
    Butterball for sure. Having Chelsea, Martin and G at home with you will be a joy. I am happy for you.

  13. Well, how about that. You made it back to France and now you get to be back with Yann but also those three lovely other people you can’t wait to squeeze for the rest of the summer! Sort of helps make up for it, right? *smiles*

  14. I can picture Yann as he teased you! Such love and goodness right around the corner, dear heart.
    I will say it again because it is true…the best is yet to come!
    Sending love to you friend.💕

    How wonderful that you were able to return to France. May your isolation period go quickly and may you soon be home in Provence with family and friends.
    And what a loving time that you had in CA. Spending such time with your family and family. I loved the blackberry dessert post. Yummy!
