A Busy First Road Trip...

A Busy First Road Trip....


Our trip was a bit too much for you and Mommy, i'm afraid. The drive was way too long for me and you as it took almost 10 hours due to traffic between here and Warner Robins. There was an accident that required life flight to land in the road, there were two tractor trailors that collided, other fender benders and just plain heavy traffic. Needless to say, your Daddy and i have learned our lesson in driving! From now on, we will drive at night!

Actually, you did very good until we put you in the ugly hospital like crib in the hotel.....you were not happy at all. Friday night was very rough for us! You were fantastic while meeting your cousin Viktoria and Tia and Tio, though....you smiled and giggled and let everyone hold you. I have to say, it made my day when i saw you looking for me while being held by others. :) Yes, it doesn't take much to make Mommy happy, does it? You were very, very good, Emma and it was sad to me to see you meet Tia. It made me miss my Mom even more than usual. It was very hard to be back in my Mom's house and not have her there. I also went and visited her grave and put your photo up by the flowers. My heart was very sad the entire trip....

You also meet Mari Pili who was probably my Mom's best friend. She cried when she met you, Emma. I know that she was thinking and wishing that my Mom was there. I heard her whisper to you in Spanish "Maria Jesus would have loved you so much".....and i had to leave the room in tears. She's right, my Mom would have loved you so much, Emma. I guess that i am struggling as the "whys" of why my Mom got sick and died.....it doesn't seem fair. While i know that some of my job as a Mommy isto teach you that life isn't always fair, it just seems so very unfair that my Mom isn't here.

Your Daddy suggestested that we leave early; i was ready to go. I felt a little bad because your Aunt Claudine wanted us to stay, but i truly just wanted to get all of us home. Your Daddy drove us home at night...we left around 8 pm and got home around 1am or so. He truly took care of you and i!

You slept so soundly when i put you in your crib and slept till 9 am the next morning. You napped a lot the rest of Sunday....i could tell that you were glad to be home. Of course, not as happy as Mommy was to be home, but happy none the same!

The above photos are of you and Tia and my Mom's grave with your photo.....

Love you to the moon and back.....

Mommy
