Bye-bye, Lisa; Bye-bye, Lacey

Right now both of you are on a plane back to PA. Lacey, I'm glad that you finally started warming up to Aunt Des even though it was the end of the trip. lol. Poor Uncle Don didn't even get that much! At least, you could kinda' say his name. I know that Desiree is a hard one, so I'll give ya' a break. You taught me about the Wiggles and Boobah (unfortunately. Aren't Phalic symbols for kids great?) I'm glad that I got to introduce you to the divided plate. There will always be one waiting for you here at Uncle Don and Aunt Des' place. I enjoy your company a lot more now that you don't burp-up and drool. Seriously, I may not be the most fun aunt that you have to chose from (thanks, Auntie Lo-Lo!), but I love you in my own quiet way. In a few years, we'll do hair and have sleepovers. I'll let ya' eat ice cream really late and swim all day. Have fun getting to know Daddy and all your PA relatives again. I can't wait to see the little person that you are the next time you visit.

Lisa, sorry your trip wasn't all that you had hoped for. I hope that you had a good time with us, at least. I've really enjoyed our conversations and am happy to have a better, more mature relationship with you than before. I know better than anyone how hard it is to pick up the phone or worry about things that aren't right in front of me, but we should try to keep up the conversations and understanding. I really do love you and want you, Dave and Lacey to be happy. Keep up the work. Thanks for your support and point of view.

Things I'll remember from your visit: Fun in LA. Sick and cranky Lacey (I didn't say that it would all be good!). My poor Geranium and the battle to let it go (Don, you do owe me a new one). Don's "dead" grass plant. 20 some bags of rock. You are not the same person as your sister. No more middle man. Your super tan. Neutral lips (I'll think about it). Wal-Mart photo processing. The world of picture CDs and Snapfish. Second City with the Millers (Lesson: don't ever try to volunteer someone during the show; it backfires.). The 4th! The most sought after surrogate mother by the gay and lesbian community. Don's anatomically correct baby doll. "Hi, my name is Desiree..." great customer service (at least our toes are pretty :) ). No sad goodbyes.

For next time: I hope we get to see you around Christmas. Maybe next summer you should come closer to the 4th and stay through July and part of August so that people hopefully have a little more time for you. Get Dave to come out for at least a few days. We miss him. You can stay over here some of the time, too. If we offer than it's not imposing.

Well, it's been great seeing you. I know that you are relieved to be getting home and back to "real" life. So, we're back to phones and cyberspace.

Love ya',
Des
