For the Friend I Miss

"Jua! I've made breakfast, so don't skip it—make sure you eat, okay?"

In the meantime, she must have gone upstairs and fallen asleep, because there was no answer.

I thought I should make sure she ate and wondered whether I ought to go upstairs and wake her now, but then shook my head.

It was the weekend, so I should let her sleep in.

"Jua, Mommy has to go out for a little while, so I'll be back."

Oh, right. Our Jua had gone to school.

I should leave a note before I go, so Jua wouldn't be startled.

[Jua, Mommy has to go out for a bit, so I'll be back. Make sure you eat breakfast.]

"There."

This should keep Jua from being surprised when she came home later...
