This is one of the many notes that I've found recently on the girls' bedroom floor. Maddie writes notes and puts them on her floor and says "Grammy will be able to read them."

Both she and Faith have been writing things down in their own journals. I am surprised with the things that even Faith writes on her own about missing Grammy. Abrielle blew us away the day of the funeral when we heard her downstairs start crying. I thought she was just frustrated that she couldn't carry her bin of Minnies upstairs, but I found her standing there sobbing. I asked her what was wrong when I hugged her, and she answered "I don't want to die." She doesn't understand the enormity of everything that's been going on, but she definitely understands something. Poor baby.
