Rocky & the Boys...

Hey there... Double post today. Whatever that means...I guess it means I got stuff on my mind. I hadn't posted these even though I've thought about posting them for quite some time. When Rocky and the boys left, I just didn't want to think about it. I think that Martha and I both didn't want to think about it. At first it was so hard because we missed them so much. Then we would drive by the house and the endless growing grass. So many memories there... As if we could still see the boys riding around on their bikes if we drove by. Then we had to go into the house to do her a favor. It was so empty. It is an eerie feeling when you're so used to hearing the echoes of kids playing and shouting with utter happiness. It's never easy to see friends move away. Especially in circumstances as these. We all know what happened. So I don't need to go there. What I will say though, is that those 3 boys and Rocky will always have a special place in our lives, no matter where they are. My son writes letters to his best friend Aaron often. I miss the big man Allan. I miss his high fives and TIO BEN!!!! :) Little stinker. And last but not least Alec. The classic energizer bunny. Boy can that boy go... But we know they are where God wants them to be right now. Oh yeah...we miss Rocky too...but every once in a while she'll call us. I can always count on her for comic relief. "Que haces Ben-CHI." Yes...it's still funny after all these years. But only when she says it...ok? Don't go getting any ideas. I can always count on her to be real. We miss you guys Rock. I pray that you guys are doing ok.
