Concerts and missing family

Right now I am listening to Lifehouse's "Smoke & Mirrors." I saw them in concert on May 1 in San Diego with my sister, Brenda. They opened for Chris Daughtry and it was a fantastic concert. I have seen them twice and they are fantastic group. I have listened to their music for a long time and like the growth that is apparent. Their last CD "Who We Are" is my favorite but I am really liking this new one. Also I have both of Chris Daughtry's CD and really like his music. But back to the concert, it was a beautiful May night and while the concert was inside knowing beautiful San Diego weather waited outside was wonderful. It was my last night in San Diego, we were moving to Idaho in June but I was leaving the next day because my dad was in the hospital. Brenda and her son Chase came into town Friday evening and Saturday during the day we went to Mission Beach for a few hours then the concert that night. It was a great way to spend my last day in San Diego. And it was great to go with Brenda. Her and I have been to a few and I will miss being able to do that with her. I miss being so close to my family in Phoenix, knowing they were just a quick drive away. I missed it when my sister, Eileen and her family went to San Diego in June for a week when we were already in Idaho. Or when my nephew, Wesley and his wife, DeserRai came to catch a plane for their new home in Alaska. I miss being able to pop over to visit my mom in Yuma overnight. But most of all I especially miss my daughters, Sarah and Melissa. They are still in Phoenix and being much farther away is so hard. When we were in San Diego we could pop over to Phoenix for a long weekend or they could come to San Diego. Mother's Day 2009 we had all met in Yuma and spent the weekend with my mom. I miss going to chick flicks or hanging out all night just talking or spending the day by the pool. I miss knowing they were so close that if they needed me I could get to them quickly.
