My parents left on their mission today. They will be in the MTC for 10 days, then off to New Delhi, India for 18 months. They are excited/nervous/happy/sad (to leave family)/ready/not ready...ect.There are so many emotions that I am going through, that I don't even know how to sort them out. Let's just say that I am sad. My mom is one of my best friends, and I just got her back from a 2-year mission in China just 8 months ago. I got used to her at the gym with me, shopping with me, phone calls...ect. My dad always makes you feel better about any situation. Things could look awful, then you talk to dad, and everything will be okay...it will work out. I love talking to my dad. I will miss them both very much.
I will stop here with my whining incase mom and dad ever find time to come to my blog. Just know it will be a rough few months...I'm 30, I should be able to grow up a bit...just maybe a little bit? But, I will still miss my mommy! ;)

I am sorry you have to say goodbye again!! At least this one is shorter, right? Call if you need someone to talk to!
I know it doesn't make the parting any easier but our friends boy just got called to India. Same mission I believe- I can't imagine there are a lot of missions there. English speaking- go figure. :)
Poor Alison! It is kind of a bummer, Arden was finally starting to get to know them and now by the time they get back she will think they are strangers again! We will have to do our best to show her lots of pictures while they are gone I guess.
I could barely handle my mommy being on a cruise for a week! good luck, it'll be great :)
That is exciting but sad!
My personal family life was in shambles when my parents went on a mission - I told them NEVER AGAIN!! We couldn't take any more life building/character building experiences while they were gone! The blessings were all around amazing, but the trials were difficult!
It is hard to see them gone, but the work they do & the lives they touch is inspiring & wonderful.
It also helps build on your sibling relationship because you cannot rely or complain to MOM! Goodbyes are always hard. Lisa
I don't know how you do it! If it wasn't so important for them and those they will help, I can't imagine they would be able to leave either.
It's probably not as hard for me as for you but I miss them a lot too. Especially this time since I'm going tobe starting a garden and I've never hard one, even when I was a kid. We'll just have to make sure we get all the siblings together often and maybe it will make it less hard.
Sorry, Alison :(. Your parents sounds like awesome people!! I can see why you will miss them so much. Good for them to do two missions back to back. Just think of all the blessings :).
