A Wind Day

When I was in NoVA we had snow days, days when school closed due to snow. In Hawaii we must have had a Wind Day today. School closed for the day because there was no electrical power due to the wind storm. Trees snapped in half all over our town. Son2 woke up three times last night. Son1 was up talking to himself one of the times I got up. Son1 attempted to rake leaves from the storm with a yardstick.

Aloha Grandma B.! We already miss you and the tons of help you were to our family. Son1 came home from the airport and headed right for the cookies he made with you the other night. On the way home from the airport, I told Son1 I was sad Grandma B. went home. I asked him if he was sad, too. "Yes, I am sad," he said. Then after a brief pause he said. "No, no, no, Mommy! I am happy and mommy is happy, too." That was just the right thing for him to say, and very reassuring.
