A Tearful Farewell

We bid farewell to our dear friends and neighbors for the last 3 years yesterday. It was so heartbreaking, as Mariana and Stephen developed very close friendships with Abby and Caleb. They have been like second children to us during this time of being mostly homebound thanks to Coronavirus. The O family was a truly a blessing in our lives and will be greatly missed!

 Their family generously loaned Abby and Caleb to us for dinner their last night here, and Austin made some delicious Texas Ribs on his smoker. What a great sendoff, as they are headed to Japan!

Caleb and Allia tied for eating the most ribs!

We gathered at our neighborhood park later that evening with some mutual friends for an official last get together.

The next morning they came to hang out for an hour or so while everyone was doing last minute packing up. The neighborhood gang gathered for the sendoff.
So long, friends!
