Today we had some family over, including grandparents Gramma Kelley and Poppy, for Poppy's birthday. We had a good meal, and birthday cake for Poppy. A good time overall.
Later that night Gramma Kelley shared with me a story about Violet wishing her farewell:
When I was getting ready to leave, I gathered Violet up in my arms and said over and over, "I LOVE you, I love you, I love you."
Then I told her we had to drive a long way home to Maine.
She took my face in her little hands, and brushed my hair away and looked me in the eye and said, "But you're leaving the cake, right?"
