My best friend, Justi, has left me. Her mom is really sick (she lives in IDaho) and so Justi has decided to go home and help where she can. She had to quit her job, and school and leave me (and my family of course). She left on Sunday morning and I miss her tons already! She lived/lives with us and so it's weird not having her around. Her part of the house feels very empty. Every one, please keep her in your prayers...she'll be needing them. And while you're at it, pray that she gets to come back here, not stay too long in Idaho ( although I know that would make her family happy it makes me sad...so I'm being a little selfish!).
Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.
