thinking how much she would have liked that ruby went on all the scariest rides at the south salem carnival without batting an eyelash.
thinking how proud she would be of what a great reader ruby is.
thinking how she would like to know that dario was the only one who helped plant my little vegetable garden, and is the only one who is truly delighted to see red tomatoes.
thinking how happy she would be to know that dario doesn't have to go for a heart check up for 6 months! (his longest between check ups, yet!)
thinking how unfair it is that she won't meet otis or her new nephew(when he is born).
thinking she should be in Fire Island right now in the rain with chiq and her kids.
just thinking about her today...

Great Ruby & Dario updates, Yum. In my mind Anna is so present, I can see her running into the pictures you posted and grabbing those kids into her arms. Everything you said is so true, she would love all those things.
It's unbelievable that she won't meet Otis (and L)--I feel like I can see her in the pictures leaning over Maud's bed and kissing that baby. So unfair and wrong.
I love to think of her running into those pictures... I can imagine her insisting on riding that whale/dolphin that ruby is on, even if the weight limit is 50 lbs! We played so many fun games in the pool (remember the canoe, yum?) and raced like crazy.
i remember anna's first race with the Laurel Pond Swim Team at the Lewisboro town pool. I think she was 5 ( maybe 4?) and she and another kid from the other team raced the width of the pool. They were both big for their age and tough looking and they had matching belly-floppy dives but Anna was, of course, the winner.
ugh. I'm heartbroken today. I clicked on the picture of Ruby and was looking at her teeth, her ADULT teeth, and thought about how Anna died before any of Ruby's teeth fell out. About a week after her death, Ruby's first tooth came out in the bathtub ( i was very lucky not only to be there, but to catch it before it went down the drain)...Anna had wiggled it and wiggled it but she never saw that incredible toothless smile, those incredible adult teeth.
And that Lucian will never even meet his Aunt, let alone know her... I can't take it.
