Jolie,
Hearing your voice today was the fulfillment of a dream that I have nurtured for a long time now. My excitement gave way to wonder as you started telling me things that had recently happened in your life. You are so smart! As we chatted I could tell you were ready to see me again, and I can't hardly contain myself until you arrive. Your mothers' sudden need for me to have you for the summer is a gift I did not think twice about accepting. Nor will I try to decipher why; though I think I know the mitigating factor behind this opportunity.
I'll just take it at face value, pray some more, and keep my fingers crossed until Friday evening which is your scheduled arrival time. Having you here with me is the most important thing right now. As for Niki, her presence is not an issue; her and I are stuck to each other like glue. I know she is anticipating meeting you with a happy heart and a hug and a smile. As for me, I am already planning our time together, because I know that you will have to go back to your mother too soon.
So what I am focused on is getting you here, and making the most out of the short time we have together. Going to the park will be a daily occurrence, since you love that. I probably better keep the ice cream treats to a minimum, though. There are a bunch of children that are neighbors here so there will be plenty of kids for you to make friends with. I will always be with you in case you get tired or want to go home.
Thinking about all these things and making all these plans for you gives me comfort. Big changes have been made in my life and I have only just started on this path. Every day I say a prayer of thanks to God when I awaken, and before I go to sleep; it is part of my routine now. You are the catalyst that set me on this journey Jolie, and I thank God every day for you and Niki.
In two more days I will be seeing you, and this circle of love will be completed.
I love you, Jolie.
