A Tribute to Melissa

It was really sad to see Melissa go yesterday. She was part of our family for 2 weeks--bearing the good and the bad of the Fraziers with a smile. She played with the boys, read to them, listened to them sing the same songs over and over, patiently endured them coming into her room and giving her very little alone time, put up with our turtle-speed of traveling with 3 kids and much more. She will be a great mom some day. It was so good having another girl in the house too!! I think we talked and shopped more than I have done either of these two things in the past 8 months since we've been here. It was so refreshing and encouraging to have her here. She is a dear friend. Melissa, I hope you have landed now...it's been 24 hours since you departed. (It takes 22 to get there via Delhi-Newark-Houston so hopefully she is on good ol' Texas soil.) And I hope you have a great time in Arizona with your family. You are missed--Haddon keeps asking where you are:D
