memories.

Over the weekend I made dinner, and while Van and I enjoyed our sandwiches the conversation got interesting.  We went from discussing who taught me how to cook, who cooked in my house growing up, and then it turned to who we miss the most.

When she asked me who I really missed...I said I really didn't know, because at that particular moment I didn't feel like talking about it.

So I asked her, and in all her 6 year old confidence said...

"I miss my Uncle Jackie the very most."

Huh, interesting.  I didn't expect that to come out of her mouth. I must have said something like "Really!?"  Because she went on...

"I miss my Uncle Shane too, but Mom do you know who my heart really beats fast for?"

I was kinda tearing up at her innocence.  So I responded "Who?"

"I miss your brother Kyle, because one time we put underwear on our heads!"
She hasn't seen Kyle in 3 years, and her memory of him is ever so clear...

Kyle, if you are reading this...thank you for making memories with Savannah that will last a life time.  Love you always...De
