Well today had it's ups and downs. D17 is kind of down about everything. This evening she came to me and gave me a hug and told me she loved me.
She asked W if she would take her for a drive later. That's what she likes us to do when she just needs to get away from life. She plays music and sometimes will talk about what's on her mind.
W came into the kitchen and asked me when we should talk to D12 about the situation. I stepped back and from what I was doing and told her I'd prefer the weekend so D12 doesn't have to go to school the next day as she will be upset. So we'll wait a week. W said that she would take care of talking to D17 so she knows not to say anything to D12.
She said she was 'sorry for upsetting me' and I said that I wasn't upset, I was just paying attention to her so I wouldn't misunderstand anything she was saying.
She's methodical, calm, has her 'plan' to just move through this and get it over with so we can all begin the 'healing'. We'll all be fine. And we probably will.
Oh yeah, we had chinese food for dinner. W had a fortune cookie that said "The best predictor of the future is the past". She left it on the counter and I saw it and read it. Then I threw it away.
