GiGi leaves

Dear JJ,
GiGi - your favorite story reader

You knew her from the day you were born, and she thankfully stayed with us for seven  weeks after. She comes back as often as she can just to see you, and now- she is back home in China.

Gigi was here for two months- Two wonderful months - where you were the center of her life, as she was the center of yours.  She was magic at putting you to bed, and she was the one you wanted to most see when you started to stir (well, you knew she didn't get up til noon, so you waited til then).

There is a special bond between the two of you.

You are lucky son- you have a lot of family and friends who love you.  I'm lucky to be your dad, and to see you so loved by so many people - and we will miss GiGi - but I promise, we will go to the end of the earth, China,  just so you can see her.

Love,

Dad
Your favorite person to sit with on a plane
A few days after GiGi left you stood at her door calling for her

  2. JJ,
    Don't ever loose the ability to wear your heart on your sleeve. That's where your Daddy wears his...especially when it concerns you!
