'She'll be with me always,
wherever I go. Maybe we won't go flying as often as we did before, but
I'll always feel her close to me.' Leah raised her head, grinned, and added
with a laugh, 'and that will always make me feel good.'
Leah and her Mother and Daddy sat on the couch, talking about the
changes that would come with school. There would be a new time to get
up in the morning, dressing to go out, packing a school lunch and having
a comb and brush kit, and things like that.
Leah listened, and voiced opinions which Mommy and Daddy
considered very carefully. The meeting was a sharing.
After a while, Daddy and Leah went to the dining room table and Mother
brought cookies and milk. They sat around the table, munched the
cookies, sipped the milk, and talked some more.
Leah yawned.
Daddy rose, came around the table where Leah sat, and picked her up.
Mother kissed Leah's cheek as her head rested on Daddy's arm.
Daddy carried Leah down the long hallway, passed David's room, and
opened the door into her softly lit bedroom. Daddy lowered drowsy
Leah to her bed, tucked her in, and kissed her good night.
