Then we went to Faith's gym and she got to see her coaches and friends. She had lunch with coach, Amy Inge, at Taco Bell where they share the love of carmel empanada's.
I also got to see my best friend, Cyndie Dosser, and share the laughter and gossip that we so enjoy being together.
The hardest good-bye was to our 16 year-old Rottweiler, Thomas. We had to put him to sleep today. Last night, all the kids took turns taking pictures with him and telling great stories from their past. I got to be in the room with him and he died with my arms around him telling him how much he was loved and what a great dog he was.
Tomorrow we fly back to Tampa where Gregg gets ready to leave for the White House. It is such a great honor and we are very excited for him. I am just not looking forward to another good-bye.
Suz, I know yesterday was a tough day for you, but you are such a strong woman with such a strong family (especially that hubby of yours). This will be a tough month or so while he is gone, but I know you will handle it as you always do with grace and style :). I will miss having you around as I have the past couple weeks, but definitely look forward to May (only 5 months away and don't think I won't be counting!) We had a great time and I love spending time with you at the gym and with your family, you are very blessed! You're a true friend and I hope you have a great trip home and look forward to our morning chats again :)

Suz, I have to tell you that I came to your blog, saw you didn't post anything new, and was about to leave but couldn't because the song that was playing, Unchained Melody, was so amazing! I had to stay and listen to the entire thing. The ending brought tears to my eyes.

Suz, I am so sorry you had to say goodbye to Thomas. I know how difficult that is to do.
