The funny thing is that I can actually picture (and hear) you shouting "Banana" at the door!
And don't worry, you weren't alone in your sob fest, as soon as the gate closed I started one of my own, Ninja claims he didn't but since we were riding the scooters back to the beach before getting in with Chicken, there was no real way to verify....that wind did wonders on those tears on my cheek! lol
You know if I had just read this a few months ago I would be really sad reliving that moment of our goodbyes, but instead I read it now, many months later after still communicating with you on a regular basis (I love technology) and even more importantly, I will be hugging you HELLO! soon! Yay
Kinda makes me want to shout "Banana!"
