六天甜蜜的相處似乎不夠......

七歲的孫女兒從第一天起就開始倒數日子。 到了最後幾天，她每天都得說上好幾遍：

"Grandma Lao Lao, I so wish you lived here with us."

兒子和媳婦甚至想出一個辦法，不讓我一大早從科羅拉多之泉上飛機； 小夫妻倆寧可開兩個鐘頭的車、把我送到丹佛機場搭下午的班機。

(兒子打電話給航空公司為我更改飛行計畫； 他說，他想要多花一些時間和他母親在一起。 好不容易，他說服了服務部門，不用付更改服務費......)

如是，144個小時如飛而逝......

Six days of being together did not seem to be enough......

My seven year old granddaughter was counting down till the day of my departure.

My son and his wife would even rather take me to Denver Airport which is of 2 hours distance instead of that I fly from the Colorado Springs Airport to my daughter's so that I could spend more time with them.

(My son called the airline company and told them he needed more time being with his mother.  He eventually persuaded them to transfer me to a flight from Denver without a fee.)

And so, 144 hours of gathering-together went by like flying.......
