always thinking of tippi.

Hot topic around the breakfast table this morning was the buzz of getting our Christmas tree next week. Pilot’s excited response: “hooray, this means Tippi will be home!” 💔 I’m not sure how he came up with this timeline, but I surely wish it was true. I explained it wouldn’t be until after Easter that she came home (because it’s easier to explain time to a four year by landmark dates). His disappointed reply was: “can we still write a letter to Santa for her so he can bring her baby toys?”

We talk about her all the time. She is as much a part of our family as any of us are. This is why I talk about her so much here too. I want to create memories for her to look back on, so she knows how thought about and loved she has always been. And somehow it makes her feel a little more real, a little closer. ♡☾
