Young Love

For those of you who don't know, Gracie's Best Friend Forever, Jack, moved to New York a couple sad, sad months ago.

Before they left, they were inseparable. Grace was happiest when she was playing with Jack, and they played really well together.

I don't think she understood when he was leaving that we weren't going to be seeing him for awhile. Every couple days she will ask where Jack is, but I distract her easily and she moves on.

That is, until this morning.

Grace woke up this morning and charged into our room. She slammed open our door and yelled, "MOMMY! WHERE'S JACK?!? Where is he? I want to see him right now!!!"

I told her, we can't see Jack right now, but we can call him. To which she replied, "OK, but call him on the puter, not the telephone, I want to SEE him!" (It's a little scary when your two-year-old requests to Skype her boyfriend)

We tried calling, but they're not home, so she won't give up. I'm trying to distract her, but even pancakes aren't doing to trick this morning! I think she finally realizes he's not down the street anymore. It's pretty heartbreaking! Ah, young love!

Here are some pictures of Gracie with her BFF:

When they were little babies

So sweet!

Daddy doesn't approve of this one!

Yeah, they're close

Sorry, Terry!

Jack's Mommy. We miss her, too!
