Dear Sonzee,
This last week was the last week that aba was in vacation village for the summer. He and Tzvi will spend the next 10 days in Israel and then go back to Phoenix so Tzvi can get back on the ice. The week was filled with a lot of yummy lunches and dinners. We also got to see Laeya on Sunday. It was amazing to give her a hug and kiss, and then sad to send her back to camp, but, she is happy so that is what matters. It is amazing after just a month of her being gone how I felt reuniting with her. It makes me wonder how it will be to see you, again, hopefully, one day.
This last week I had another panic attack. It made it the 2nd one over the last couple of weeks and the first ones I have experienced in the previous 6 months or so. I am pretty sure the culprit was grief, but I cannot confirm or deny that guess.
Someone who had not seen us since the last summer you were here asked me excitedly about you. I paused for a moment and then told them you are no longer with us. I felt so sad for them. Me, I have known you have been gone for 2 years 5 months, and 24 days. They just found out this information. It breaks my heart to have to break someone else's. It was in the middle of the night after this conversation that I had my panic attack. I find the ones where they wake me from my sleep with the squeezing headache to be the worst type. Especially when there are no dreams to accompany them. It took me a good 3 days to finally relax, but I can tell even days later that anything could send me back.
Bubbie, pop-pop, and Max came to visit us last shabbos. Maxi is the cutest dog and I bet he would have snuggled up against you as he tried to chew your feeding tubes and cords. It would have been a blast trying to keep him off of you. It was a very nice weekend and the weather was so beautiful we spent so much of it outside on the deck looking at the lake.
On Monday we picked up Meena and Tzvi from sleep-away camp. Meena absolutely loved it, while Tzvi was his typical "I am never going back there" self. That conversation ended with yes he will be and he can decide to have fun during it or not, his choice. He made some new friends, they even came to celebrate his birthday with us at the water park before he left for Israel. That made my heart happy.
Anyway baby girl. As always, I miss you so very much! Be safe, and keep having fun!
Until next time.
Love always,
Ema
