Dear Cooper and Finn

3rd January 2019 Dear Cooper and Finn,
We’re driving home soon. Gran Jan says she’s going to miss us very much. I’m really going to miss her too. We’ve been staying at a holiday cottage two doors down from her and grandad, and it’s so nice to be able to pop in and see each other. That’s one thing I really miss — where we live we don’t have any friends or family nearby to just pop in and see, or who can pop in and see us. We have to plan things weeks in advance and then reschedule a few times before we see each other. Whenever it’s time to go home, I find myself wishing we could start the visit all over again — so I could enjoy the time with the people I love all over again, but also so I could appreciate it more, and snap and snipe less. So I could be my best self the whole time and not waste a single second of this precious time. The time I wish for so hard when I'm not with my family, but which never runs quite as smoothly when I'm with them as it did in my head when I wished for it. But I try not to think like that too much. We had a lovely time, we all love each other, and we understand that we can't all be on top form all of the time, not even you two. XXX
