They're gone - and having fun

Well, Lloyd, Becks and Elijah arrived eventually in Orlando, although Lloyds golf clubs didn't make it - I reckon it's someone telling him he really can't play.
I've chatted once with them on Skype and it was the best chat ever. Just sooooo nice to see them and speak to them - as if they were down the road. I tell you, the 'tinternet is fab!!!
If you don't already - Lloyd's blog is the first on my list down the right-hand side

:-(

Feeling very odd at the moment - very sad and teary. My brother - Lloyd - his wife - Becky - and their son - Elijah - fly off to the US on Wednesday this week to live!!! On one hand I'm so excited for them, having lived for a bit in the US I know they will love the laid back way of life, all the fab food places, the clothes, Orlando itself - they are gonna have one fab adventure. But on the other hand am unbelievably sad that they are going (see the tears are starting even as I type). I am gonna miss them like crazy - they've been living so much nearer recently and Becks and I have often met up in town to shop and drink coffee. Max adores Elijah and follows him round when they are together. I am gonna miss watching him grow up - when they eventually return back to the UK he will be a totally different little boy and probably won't know any of us. And Becks is pregnant so we really won't know the new arrival at all. We have got Skype ready for regular chats - but I can't quite see it being the same as them being here.
We hope to go and see them earlyish next year, after the baby is born.
I know God will look after them - just wish we could too.
I have a song on my phone called Peace - it's beautiful - I was listening to it on Friday and thought it was perfect for them, and will bluetooth them the song later, here's the words

May peace be with you
May love watch over you
May God always be on your side
May his unfailing love
Be granted you from above
May God supply you with
The things you need
To exceed your wildest dreams
I can see His light is shining down on you

May his unfailing love
Be granted you from above
May God supply you with
The things you need
To exceed your wildest dreams
I can see His hand is on your shoulder
He is near just close your eyes and feel it
Give away the pride that leads you nowhere
And receive
His Love

May peace be with you
May love watch over you
May God always be on your side

Lloyd, Becky and Elijah - I love you guys
