My (very) frequent Skype calls with my family have been alleviating some of how much I miss them, but I still miss them a lot. I recently got this email from my mom:
I got a note from my sister, Grace, where she told me that she’d mentioned at their family dinner that I was feeling sad about you being away, and then said:
Avery suddenly burst into tears. "I just feel so sad that she's leaving!" he wailed. I assured him we'd probably see Abigail at Christmas, but I'm realizing now that she probably won't be back yet then. Avery did seem to cheer up when I reminded him that Louisa was still around to take care of him sometimes.
Avery is going into first grade, and is just about the cutest thing ever (as is his younger sister, Lucy.) I miss him too.
