Missing Friends

Well, this across-the-world move has been fairly easy on my girls because they have each other to play with and really, they are best little friends.   But, Sarah’s other little best friend is Diana Graves.  They were in school with each other last year and Diana’s mommy is one of my good friends in Minnesota.   Last night I heard Sarah sniffling in bed and so I crawled underneath the covers with her and asked her what was wrong.  Well, her little sniffling turned into deep sobs and she finally told me she misses Diana.  I felt like breaking down and crying along with my angel girl.   It was 11:15 pm here but 3 pm in MN so I got our computer and used Skype and we called the Graves house.  Diana was taking a nap but her sister woke her up and Sarah and her were able to talk.  My little girl fell asleep happy last night.   I know as an adult it is hard to say goodbye to friends and sometimes I forget that it is just as hard for little people, too.   Here are some pictures of Sarah and Diana from this last year.  The first one is of the girls last Christmas Day.  The second one is taken of the girls one day last winter when Diana got to spend the day with us.  The third one was taken at the Mall of America for Sarah and Sophia’s birthday.  The fourth one is the Sunday before we came to Estonia.
