Goodbye, Nanny A., Part II

Once again, we say Goodbye, Nanny A. And, as before, we are really going to miss her. We contacted her in March about returning to help us. At that point, she needn't have lived in because the Branch and Blossom were much more manageable. But she lived in anyway, since she didn't have anyone to bring her here every day and pick her up every evening.

A dear friend of the family, she'll miss us (especially the Blossom) and we'll miss her (again, especially the Blossom). We hope to keep in touch and that she'll visit the next time she comes to the States. In the meantime, we have her sister N., and N,'s daughter K. and HER kids. K.'s daughter is 3 days older than Branch and Blossom.

Fortunately, Nanny A.'s youngest son in Peru has a computer and Internet access. We'll e-mail pics of the Blossom and Branch, and maybe even chat using Skype.

I bet you will miss her. I have been using Skype for awhile and love it. People just don't seem to be as far away when you can see them.

Blossom and Branch will surely enjoy keeping in touch with her too!

Junebee: we had a similar experience but the other way around. When we left Hong Kong we had to leave our maid as well. She had been living with us for five years, had been with us through my wife's two (at the time) pregnancies and then bringing the babies home, had been with our two boys for the first few years of their little lives and was a very important and much loved member of our family. It was heartbreaking saying goodbye.
