Piper asked me to dictate a letter to Sissy this afternoon. We dropped her off at a wilderness camp in the mountains this morning, and we’re all missing her something fierce. It’s been almost three whole hours.
Dear Sissy,
I miss you. I’m sorry I stabbed you with the pool cue yesterday. I was just having fun. I know you didn’t like it. I hope you aren’t still mad at me and I hope you bring me something fun from camp. Like a stuffed animal. Or a snow globe. Mom said they probably don’t have snow globes at camp, but I hope she’s wrong. I really want a snow globe.
Also, Mom keeps crying. I think she wants a snow globe, too.
Love,
Piper

ahhhhhhhhhh
my son is going back to college at the end of the month and I am already sad
How do you do this? I know it’s right. I know Sissy is better for the break. I know camp is going to be awesome. I’m happy to have P all to myself. So, why is there this constant lump in my throat?
mine never goes away – but you get used to the lump
Ah! I miss Sissy now, too!
Ah, friend. I feel like I’ve been gutted. I’m sure Sissy is thriving. I’m barely surviving.
We’re here for y’all!
