First day of leave – our two weeks of just being us . I’m sure Shelb and Isaack if things had been different would be looking forward to two weeks of playing house . I sometimes feel like they still do . I say goodnight and goodbye to them when I leave the house each day (just in case they are hanging around) I don’t care if I’m the crazy old lady talking to herself . I would rather get to the other side and have them say – you never stop talking to us and we heard you than – you forgot about us .

That will never happen .
