she will always hear our stories, she will see photographs, she will know about her biggest brother who adored her....
she mentions him sometimes... she remembers him now.
e other night we went for a walk in the neighborhood with Ella in stroller for the first time since Nolan died. Ella says "Nolan took me for a walk last night" (last night is her word for anything that happened in the past)...Nolan often took her for walks in the stroller.
today i bought each kid a mango. she said "Nolan had a mango, he shared with me" .... Nolan did buy himself a mango a time or two in November or December and, yes, of course he gave Ella some.
Ella doesn't remember it, but Nolan dropped her when she was about four or five months old. he was horrified. she had just started that thing babies do where they jerk themselves backwards...she landed on the carpet, whew. he felt so bad. my sweet Angel.
