All Alone

Yesterday David told Charlotte that he would be in Pennsylvania for three days. This, on the tail of a one week stay at Kitt Peak Observatory in Arizona, had Charlotte saying "I do not want to be alone."

"No," said David, "Eema and Rachel will be here to take care of you."

Charlotte was relieved, brushed it off but tonight called from her DVD watching as I did the dishes and said, "I'm lonely, come watch with me".

I think the kid is ready for us all to be home for a while!
