Does Sue still want me in her life when I move?
Can I come visit anytime?
Will Sue come visit me?
Can I call and text and video call her?
Will she still be there for me?
Will she keep me up to date on everything?
“That’s all I can come up with right now, Sarah,” I say.
“What have you written?” Sue asks. I read out my questions to both Sue and Sarah. When I’m done, Sue grabs the notebook and writes “yes” down as every answer. “There now. Those were the easiest questions I’ve had to answer in some time. Sarah, everything is a yes.”
I shake my head at her. “Sue, you’re the best.”
Sarah smiles at the two of us fondly. “Great job, ladies. Ready to move on to the next set of questions?”
I write a list for Mal and Mary, and then for my father. His is the hardest to write, and the scariest. I end up with:
Name and age.
Where does he live? What does he do?
I tell him about the important people in my life and express the need to keep them close when I move.
