A phone call this morning

[Background: On Easter, Abby agreed to hang out with me on Friday afternoons.]

Hi, Dad. How're you today?

Great, Sweetie. What's up?

I wanted to tell you something sweet Abby said today: Yesterday while she was walking with Ghirgana and Joey they ran into a friend of hers. She and her friend tried to set up a play date for Thursday, but then Abby remembered that she had soccer practice that evening. This morning I said I would phone to try to set up a play date for Friday.

Abby (shaking her head) said "Pop-Pop."

Me: "I'm sure Pop-Pop wouldn't mind if you wanted to meet with your friend that day. He could come out to see you some other day."

Abby (shaking her head): "No. I want to see Pop-Pop."

A memory I'll cherish.
