October of 2008 brought an unusual event. Mommie spent a weekend away from home with some other parents to share ideas about scrapbooking. I know it was all for the good so later we could see and read about our early days. Even though Daddy was home and took good care of us, our house was so empty without her. Daddy arrived home after lunch and Mommie left with some other ladies, so I asked if we could go over to visit GiGi. But GiGi didn't know about Mommie being away and had walked downtown to do some errands. So only the answering machine was there. We went to the pet shop to look at the animals and left a message for GiGi to call us there on our cell phone.
GiGi had not returned home. Daddy said she was likely buying groceries. Come to think of it, she does have to eat meals somewhere and I don't recall ever seeing her eating with us at our table. So I guess she was busy buying groceries. So we went home and Daddy said he would call her in the evening and see if we could come in the morning. But it was lonely not having Mommie to tuck us in, and feel her loving arms around us, and the nice fragrance we always feel when she is near. Daddy gave us supper and our baths, tucked us in, put our baby sister in her crib and reminded us how she would be one whole year old on October 23rd.
We enjoy pressing the numbers at GiGi's condo and hear her welcoming voice saying, "Come right in." The big outside door opens like magic and we race down the hallway and soon happy arms embrace us. She always has pages and pencils placed on a little table just our size. We can draw anything we like. We both drew a picture of her and in the picture we are standing beside her. We both have big smiles on our faces and look quite a bit alike. GiGi loves to hold our baby sister who always has such a nice smile. Daddy walked around the corner and was out of sight for a few seconds. That pretty little smile of hers twisted itself instantly into an upside down one, while her voice neurons raced to help her cry "Emergency." Daddy came back and her bright smile spun right back. We three know we always want be near them both forever. The time went so fast but we had to leave GiGi since Mommie had arranged for us to have lunch with friends who had children our age to play with. As we left I told Daddy "I want to come to GiGi's house more often."
