And She's Gone

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic. Sweetheart saw this one and said, "Oh, there is my sister! And she is cuddling me!" 

Why does the time with CG always go so incredibly fast? I feel like it's even less than a blink of an eye. Hopefully the time until she comes again goes just as fast. 

The boy in the picture is their cousin, who also came to visit for Thanksgiving, and who Sweetheart made read Cinderella books and otherwise fully immersed him in all things girly. You are welcome, Josh. It never hurts to be more in touch with your feminine side.

Today I was performing my usual Monday weekend recovery cleanup when I found CG's hairbursh. (Hey CG? You left your brush! We'll throw it in with your Christmas package, k?) We both did a walk through of her room and somehow missed it. I usually find something like this after she is gone, either a stray sock in the wash or just a little something under a blanket in her room, and I always stop and stare at it for a minute and get a little melancholy. I'll even admit to a couple of tears this morning. I don't like that it reminds me that she is gone, but I like the reminder that she was here. 

We love you, CG!!!

(I do have more pics coming of her time here, so don't be too confused at my lack of a real timeline!)
