What a wonderful surprise!

I had a very nice – to say the least - surprise this weekend. On Thursday evening our door bell rang. I went to answer the door and when I opened it, there stood Leah. I was quite surprised and asked her what she was doing here? She said that she had come to spend the weekend with me. After a huge hug and some very happy tears she informed me that I had Friday off from work. She had apparently arranged with my boss a day off of work for Friday - another very nice surprise.

Because I am still not feeling the best, we weren’t able to do some of the fun things we have done in the past. However, we did enjoy just being together. I am amazed at how much I miss those times that we would hang out in her room and talk about whatever was on our minds. It is harder to do that now when their time here is so short and they have two families to appease. I will admit, selfish or not, I enjoyed this weekend because I didn’t have to share her with anyone. I don’t know where they will end up living so I enjoy, cherish and am grateful for these snippets in time when we can just be.
