We refuse to say goodbye - because Malcolm and Jill will be back in about 6 months time, so it is just 'farewell and see you soon'. Joshua is slowly beginning to understand that Malcolm and Jill live here for half the year, and in the UK for the other half.
However, we will all miss them very much. They add SO much value to our lives. First and foremost they take such a committed, caring and genuine interest in Joshua and all he is involved in; they are the first to put up their hand to pick Josh up from school or take him anywhere if we need help. For Mummy in particular, they are a god-send - it is like having another pair of hands as they are just simply 'there' for us in every way. Joshua has his own independent relationship with Malcolm and Jill and he looks on them as 'family' in many ways.
And this time, they not only were a big part of Joshua's life but they also 'adopted' Grandma and did so many DIY jobs around her house (unbelievable) - and also even took Mr Hudson for walks and swims!
How lucky we are to have them here for 6 months each year. All we can say is ... let the next 6 months pass quickly so we can have them back here again - please !
