Dear Mom and Dad,
Every one is wondering… how the campers will do it… how will they say good bye. Originally, it was thought that Mom and Dad would be in the Mitten State… and going to school nearby. It was thought that I’d have Nana to babysit, or any of my Aunts or Uncle nearby… at Christmas time we learned of re-enlistments, and then of a new life at Fort Hood. Economical reasons, and changes in plan… all with the best interest of the worlds sweetest baby (ME) in mind. So yes, it is true my co campers will indeed miss me, but they know… I belong where my mom and dad are, and where the my mom’s heart leads me, I will follow… so Nana made me a special video.. one that answers the question every one is asking… how… will we say goodbye….
Here is the answer… this is a small part of a video Nana made for me to take back to Fort Hood. Mom and Dad will play it for me one day….
Nana says, when you love some one (and says this applies to everyone…. not just me…. but it is meant for SONS, DAUGHTERS, GRANDCHILDREN and Parents too!) you will do what ever it takes and give everything you have… – to make those you love happy… you will try and try – and you will give of yourself, no matter the sacrifice… you will love unconditionally… and you will hope that one day… they will know…. just how loved they they have been!
This morning I awakened to a present from my co campers… the Nanster knew with all my culinary skill that I would need a workspace all my own, so all the campers pitched in and got me a kitchen… and well while a video is nice…. (for older folks) I am partial to the hands on kind of play seen here… Mr. Nikon, aka THE BEAST caught me playing this morning.
This is what I am looking at… can you believe it? A present from my Aunts and Uncle… I am so lucky!
The truth is, Nana is a pokey joe… she is what some may say , A LITTLE or (A LOT) slow (AND yes even WHIMPY), and I AM SO VERY FAST. She is out of shape and says if she is to fly to Fort Hood to visit… she better get on the stick and start getting in shape!
Finding a new place for me to play… where SHE CAN ACTUALLY KEEP UP WITH ME, WELL, that is really FUN for Nana. We can cook together for hours! So don’t think I am being spoiled, I am not… this present from my co campers is because I am so darn cute, and adorable they just cannot help themselves, and they wanted me to have a place where Nana could play with me!
I too benefit, since now I have an entire kitchen I can play in, NO LOCKED DRAWERS,
NO – NANA’S FINGER – SHAKING NO NO NO…
JUST PLAY PLAY PLAY…
and PLAY SOME MORE!
And I am lovin’ it…
Until tomorrow, I am as always, your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,
Guillianna!
