It’s the entire reason I now live in this state, for goodness sake! Definitely going over there this Saturday. My parents are thrilled to see me more than once a year, but I know I can do better about visiting them. I’ve got commitments on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and I have to fit my Mr. Yes time into weekends. I even miss Little Yes if I don’t see him every other weekend. For someone who would like to have more contact with her friends, I don’t seem to have a lot of free time.

But every moment I don’t spend with my folks is one I’ll regret after they’re gone.
