The days are long

Dear Sparky
How was your summer?  I hope  you were able to enjoy the long days and filled them with the things that make you the happiest. Do you know I think of you at the best part of each of my days.  Well I do.  I think it's the best part of my day cuz your face is in my head. Gosh you have a sweet face.  Just like grace.  You have the kind of face you just fall in love with. So easily and just like that.

Do you remember when we were kids, tous, and seeing each other was always an adventure?  The days were so long and we filled them to top with fun and schemes and talks of days to come.  It's hard to believe some days that we grew up and yet it's almost like it all never happened.  I get homesick for you. And especially your laugh. Do you think one day you could live just down the road? And then when I need to borrow sugar, I could borrow yours and when you need to cry, you could show up on my step uninvited and just cry. Without questions?

Do you think Tousin Allie would allow me to be her stand in? I gotta say you'll love having her close. For as long as you can be close, embrace it.  Our mothers never had forever, and what they did have wasn't long enough.  You received something good when Allie came along.  She's gonna drive you crazy.  Your gonna wanna mother her.  But remember, we are the babies, and we gotta make our path, as squiggly and tiresome as it may look.  But you big sisters gotta bite your tongue from time to time. And have us to dinner.  Baby us still, but let us feel independent (right Allie ?)

Sparky, the days are still long, it's true, but the years are too short.  It's been almost 3 years since I've seen you in person.  Heart breaking. I hope to see you soon.

Take care of yourself,

Love you
