Our Son's Visit!!

Hi everyone!

We had such a fantastic week with our son Patrick, and Brian managed the week like a real trooper! My son works in the hospitality industry and has to stay clean shaven, so this week he said, absolutely no razors :) We hadn't seen each other in over a year and a half, so this reunion was a long time coming!

He has been to Playa before, so this time it was all about hanging out at home, some quick trips to the beach or local shops, and cooking together, which we've loved to do ever since Patrick was a little guy. Such great new memories were made!

We did make our way to the beach one day, but Brian tired quickly, which made it easy to grab a seat on some loungers at the cantina nearby to enjoy some fresh seafood and sunshine, which of course I forgot to take a picture of :) I was too busy just enjoying time with my two guys!

Brian managed remarkably well even though he pushed himself all week, but since Patrick left on Monday, he's been exhausted and resting a lot! He says it was all totally worth it though :) Patrick also enjoyed his time immensely and plans to return in March with his girlfriend, who we' ve not yet met except through Facetime. I have to admit though, it was great having him all to ourselves on this trip :) Spoken like a true mom, I know!

Brian continues on the same path healthwise, as my last post, but he's no worse either, which I always see as good sign ... I'm an eternal optimist, so really, I have absolutely no choice!

I'm back on steemit, judging in our Pay it Forward Curation Contest (Hive account@pifc), and will squeeze in what I can, when I can; I can't believe how much I've missed all of you ... I just can't seem to totally stay away :) Besides, Brian loves when I read him different posts, or fill him on on new things here! It's like the visit from our son has rejuvenated him a little, and that alone, makes me smile :)

What also makes us both smile is the love, prayers, thoughts, positive vibes and support from our last post! You guys really are incredible!!
