K,

You surprised me by coming home this weekend. Last night, you came over for a few hours and then we drove to church together. There is something about sitting next to you in church, holding your hand, and reading our bibles that feels so comfortable to me. We walked into the church, you had your arm around me and kissed my cheek before we went to sit down. We sang Lion King and Mulan songs on the ride home, and you pointed to me when it was my turn to sing. I dropped you off at your house and did my usual crying, and you kissed my hand and hugged me for a very long time. Your brother called me his “sister in-law” and it made me so happy.

I hate this distance, but days like these make everything so worth it.
