This is the last little picture I have of Sadie and Matthew. It was taken while the ward was packing up the Giles' house. I love Sadie's little gloves and her arms around her best friend.
Trying to explain to my daughter that her best friend moved away and he can't come over to play is a challenge. Partially because she doesn't get it, and partially because I cry when I try and tell her.
He is still in the forefront of her thoughts, and he is included in every thing, "and Mattew too!" is what I hear all day. When we go out, she wants to stop at his old house, but there is a sad "for rent" sign in door. He isn't there I try and tell her. We can call, we can write letters, but he is too far to play with today.
She has no memory of life before her little best friend. And we both miss him.

That breaks my heart! I hope your families get to keep in touch over the years!
I love those pictures, but especially the one of baby Matthew and baby Sadie. My how they grow up fast! I am pretty sure those two little ones will remember each other for a long, long, long time. :)
This breaks my heart too. Matthew asked for Sadie today, and as hard as it is to say he can't see her I hope he always asks.
So sad! I remember on my visit to D.C. when you guys first got there when they were both just little babies. It's so nice having a best friend so close! That's going to be rough for a while. So sorry.
