So Maddie decided to go all Felicity on me. At least she had the courtesy to tell me in advance, right? That being said, I really didn't know what to ...o. Telling her not to go to Boston was out of the question--those of you who have ever tried to tell a teenager not to do anything understand what I mean. I couldn't tell her to go either; no matter how much part of me wanted her up there, the rest of me cared too much for her to have her leave behind all she had here for me.As I was moving into. "Not until I talk to Gabe," she said. Even though the pain was sometimes unbearable, she held out until she could see him.They had moved her to a semi-private room. There was no one in the other bed. Her father had arrived a little later, but she told him the same things that she had told her mother, her sister and the doctor.She was running a fever. The panic attacks didn't help. Her family never left her side, even when she yelled and screamed at them. One at a time, they snuck downstairs to. .... diapers... girl's diapers.Meanwhile, at home, I was wearing Kylie's clothes all the time. They wereno longer what I considered half ways unisex. They were now skirts anddresses. Blouses, camisoles and even miniskirts. Kylie loved putting myhair in pigtails and pony tails. She smiled every time she came into myroom with some clothes I could try on the next day. They were getting toosmall for her. That was extremely embarrassing, that my younger sisterwas now taller than me. Life changed. Just tell me." Well, we should finish getting the garden in. Then put up that chicken enclosure. Then I think we should lay in about an acre of corn and an acre of potato's. Enough that you could handle it yourself if you needed to, but still give you a nice cash crop to offset my wages." You're a pretty sharp business person. What about the rest of the farm." Well, I don't think you're up to cows yet. You've got lots of land you could plant, but that takes a lot of work to maintain." What.
