Gita's note

I woke up the other morning and came into a quiet living room, assuming all the children were asleep. Soon Noah came down from his loft and joined me on the couch. After a few silent moments, Nimuae woke up and joined us. I basked in the quiet company of the two older children for a few moments before I realized I had not yet seen Gita and she is usually the first to wake up. I asked Nim if she saw Gita upstairs. She had not. Just as I started to feel a bit worried, Gita walked right in the front door.

"There you are Gita," I said. "I was worried about you."

Gita responded with, "But Mom, I went to the see Alex and Lili, and I left you a note."
