It's Been a While

Yesterday I took daughter to the pediatrician because she had an earache.  Given that she's been away from home for the past two years and that her two brothers are older and go to an internist who sees only adults, it was a very strange flashback to earlier times.  Strange, but very sweet.  Of course, I have no way of knowing what will be in the future, but for now, our relationship and her behavior and delight and happiness and joy are everything I have every wanted and dreamed of from the day I discovered I was going to give birth to her almost 16 years ago. 

I'd grieved as if I'd lost her, and now she's back. How much more do we savor that which seemed lost to us? There are no words to express it. B'H.

Sounds like a hearty "Mazel Tov!" is in order. I hope everything continue to improve.

Thanks to you both.

For the moment, I only get to keep her for a two-week leave of absence which ends on Thursday.
But then she comes home for good the beginning of June. : )
