The mother

I wonder if she knows just how much sadness I am feeling.  We are very close, and I can't look her in the eyes right now for fear of bursting into tears.  Maybe she knows.

Today, Kai asked how many days Ryan is staying.  She said seven.  And she added, "You know, Kai, once Ryan comes it means  Emily will only be here for seven more days."  I couldn't look at her, and I didn't say a word.
