Cupcake.

Too quickly, they were here and then gone again.

My niece Kerigan came over for a few hours on Friday.

We made cupcakes and two girls giggled more than they talked. And a young boy looked at me every time and quietly rolled his twinkly eyes with a little grin. A ‘stop it, I love it’ kind of grin. If you know Connor, you know what I mean.

At the end of the night, my sister and her family started their trip back to Illinois, and Nora sat on the couch next to me.

“I know it’s stupid, and I know I’m overly-emotional, but… -(insert sob here)- I miss Carter and Kerigan already! And they just left!”

Same here, Nora.

Come again soon, k?
