It has been lovely and wonderful and happy and fun to come home everyday to company. I enjoyed introducing my parents and Nancy to all my favorite places in Jordan (and Israel and Egypt). I enjoyed the domesticity of deciding what to eat for dinner, the discussions of the little and big things in life, and the companionable silence of lounging and reading on the couch.
I have been looking forward to this trip for so long, I feel a little bereft, now that its over. Thanks for putting up with me, Moms, for cooking and dog-sitting for me and for waiting for many, many repair-men over the last month. As Abe Lincoln (may or may not have) once said "All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother".

Aww. That is so sweet. Wonderful mothers are such a blessing, and you are doubly blessed. :)
ol' abe definitely said that, right before using his silver-edged axe to remove a vampire's head.
