We video call with Willa and family this evening. Hazel is growing fast and Willa ever full of surprises beyond her years. She asks to come visit us then catches herself, I can’t come on a school day. “Let me check my days of the week”, she says and disappears from view. When she returns, she has her days of the week poster and walks down thru it with Mom’s help; Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday….Friday/that’s today. Tomorrow is Saturday. I don’t have school. I can come see you tomorrow! We are thrilled at the thought and heartbroken at having to tell Willa we are too far away. We will all have to wait until we can come see them in a few weeks at Christmas. We can do it.
