In December Briana and I said goodbye to our best friends in Lupeni, Monica and Bubu. In January we grieved, and sometimes I felt as if we should be wearing black, for we were in mourning. And then we were surviving. Sad, certainly, but making the best of our days and of the company of each other and those nearby. And then they came back.
Grace comes.
And we go.
We had already bought our tickets to be away for March and April. When we return we will have 10 days with them before they go again, perhaps this time for good.
Mourning will come again.
Our daughter's soul's home away from home is with Monica and Bubu. She would move in with them if we let her. I hope next time grace visits we won't have made other plans.

So sorry Brandi, for the loss of close contact to your dear friends. I remember meeting Moni and know how much you did together. We lost our dearest buddy (one mo. younger than P) last year when his folks moved to AZ. Walks around the neighborhood are not the same anymore - no spontaneous tea dates or commiserating sessions. I hope that new friendships will come soon, for you and your little one. Love, K
