Missing My Babies from Ashland

I left late Tuesday night to come to Ashland, KY (6 hour drive). My best friend Debbie's dad is ICU and they are not expecting him to live. He has had four strokes. Tuesday they called the family in to say goodbye so I decided it was time for me to come. He is still hanging on.
Wed. morning when I woke Elaina (my 4 yr old niece) up she got this big smile on her face and said "Kee Kee, you have been gone a long time."
She is such a little sweetie. It doesn't matter how long it's been since I have seen her, when I visit she wants no one but her Kee Kee.

I have really enjoyed spending time with her and my godson Travis. But I miss my babies and Jose. I have never spent New Years without the kids since they have been born and in 8 years Jose and I have only spent one New Years apart. So I'm really missing them but I know I need to be here. On top of everything Debbie is sick with bronchitis.

I'm not sure when I will be heading home, but I don't think I will be able to stay past Wed. I would hate to leave and then something happen because I'm not sure if I will be able to come back.

I will try to post some pics up of my visit while I am here.

Hope everyone has a great New Year.
