A short while after our Historical Figure presentations, Talia left. Another person at the Denver airport, going instead of coming. Her grandma in Samoa was getting worse. Maybe even dying. So her whole family was spending a few weeks there. They were spending Christmas there. She wouldn’t be back until January.
It made me feel stupid for not inviting her over during Thanksgiving break. Or on a weekend. Why hadn’t I invited her over already? Now I wouldn’t be able to for the rest of the month.
Now I would be working on my plan alone.
Having Thomas home made everyone happy. He and Nonny stayed next to each other all the time, holding hands, talking, eating. Trying not to worry too much about work and money, from what I could tell.
Nonny said she was trying to enjoy the time they had before he had to leave again.
She said she hated long distance.
