Pistons VS. Spurs

After I arrived I found out that Logen had purchased tickets to see the San Antonio Spurs vs Detroit Piston. Being from MI it was a really nice surprise to be able to go see them play. It also afforded me more time with Logen that day. Instead of being back at the dorm at 7pm, I got to be with him until 10pm. Buses came to the arena to pick up all the Airmen and take them back. It was a tearful goodbye and lonely walk back to my car. I loved having time with him, talking, walking, eating. It is true that you don't realize what you have until it is gone. A lesson I have learned time and again and with 3 more children at home, it will be the same when it is their time to go.

Logen and fellow Airmen at the game and outside the arena as we waited for the buses to pick them up. I waited until the last possible moment to say goodbye. I think I was the last parent left and walked him to the school bus doors. Reminded me of him getting on the school bus for elementary school. It sure didn't get any easier!!


Logen and I at the game having a good time!
