Leslie was Here!!!!!

So Leslie and I met at a Sewing Forum long time ago.... we exchanged emails and we have kept in touch with each other ever since.
She had a slight chance to move to GR. thanks to her husband's job but God has different plans for them at this moment. i really wanted her to move here but i cant go against what the Lord has in storage so i am very happy for them that they can move to a state where they can enjoy all 4 seasons. :D
So i better go straight to the point, right?
LESLIE WAS HERE!!!! she flew all the way from Tacoma, WA to Grand Rapids, MI and stayed with us for five days.

This is the first time i get help in the beginning of being the mother of  2, meaning that with Foo i didn't have anyone to help me and of course stubborn me, i didn't want to ask for help either. Leslie helped me out so much in this 5 days that i am afraid to not be able to make it without her anymore.
i sure do feel an empty spot in my heart at this moment. i am already missing you Leslie!

It hurt even more to tell Foo that you weren't here anymore. 
She woke up after coming from the airport and the first thing she did was to look and ask for "Ellie" and i said "i am sorry Honey but she left to go home to see her babies" and she said "i want Ellie NOW!!!!" and started to cry for a bit.
You have truly been a blessing to my children and to me. i really hope to see you again in person.
I usually don't get attached to people this much and i don't even cry this much for someone that i just met in person  and for so little time.
Now, i have to figure out what i am going to say to Foo tomorrow at 7am when she looks for you again and she can't find you.
We will miss you lots and lots!!!!
