This past Thursday, after a two month Covid break, Evy came over for one final Thursday with Mimi in this house. It was cherished time for all the obvious reasons and felt like we had to do certain things just for the sake of tradition. There was nothing sad about this, rather an appreciation for some things returning to normall in her mind, and a gratefulness for the memories in mine.
When she first came, she had her soother and blanket in tow, often still in her pjs. Weeks turned to months and months became years that somehow turned my baby visitor into a girl. Maybe I just had a better look this time, because I suddenly saw how grown up she was, as she rang the doorbell and came in, starting to take off her sandals.
She's been my little side kick, my helper and sweet companion playing games, going to the park, making the bed, doing the laundry, organizing my grocery cart, baking buns and visiting Oma. There's not much she doesn't know about my habits.
I love this girl and I'm so thankful for the memories she's given me. I know she's only five, but I hope that she will always remember some things about Mimi Thursdays long after these days are over.

Love every part of what Mimi Thursdays means. Glad she could come back for one more during this Covid and before you move to a new home where more sweet memories will be made!
I love this story so much. Many, many more lovely memories will be created at the new house too. She sure is a sweetie and has the best Mimi of all!
What a wonderful heartfelt story - so many good memories for both of you.
All the best to you in your new home.
