We had a happy surprise yesterday. I came home to find a very colorful, hand-drawn note in our mailbox from Grayson's best friend Olivia. Olivia and her family was obliged to move back to Houston last summer because their house was flooded, and though she has never been out of his thoughts or memory, we were not able to stay in touch because we lost their phone number, and never had an address. But she and her family were in town last night, so she came over and she and Grayson spent the evening together.
She is still his best friend. I'm sad to learn that her dad got transferred permanently back to Houston, so they're selling their house. But we are getting the kids email accounts so they can stay in touch with one another. And they will make periodic visits back to the area.They had so much fun last night. They picked up just as if they hadn't been apart for a full year. I gave them my camera and they took pictures of each other and quickly learned that they could make videos, so they made several hilarious, stomach-churning videos of each other, running up and down the stairs and all around the house, narrating. Priceless.
