a. comes to visit.

a. came for the weekend, bringing along all of the warmth of good friendship.  we spent friday walking around appleton farms, and then went to dinner with j. in the evening.  saturday we took a trip to rockport and then met up with n. for dinner and drinks at night.  as elenora and i waved goodbye and watched the train take a. to boston on sunday afternoon, ella said "i want a. to go away for just one day and then come back again tomorrow!" and huge tears dropped down her cheeks as she realized how much she would miss our friend.  i've never seen elenora cry over someone leaving before.
