MAC was moved to the corner of the room this morning. Great for us because it is less noisy then in front of the door as before. The whole day pasted with visitors today. Neil sat with MAC and I bathed her. Then the day was over. We didn’t even go for lunch. We grab a sandwich on our way home to Cecilie.
I did write a lot about Cecilie yesterday. But I have to mention her here again. She has made the must lovely story as a letter for MAC. I snuffled my way through this story about our family. Cecilie wrote (directly translated from Danish);

“Here’s a little story form me your big sister to you. I’m happy that you are my little sister. That you are well. I mostly look forward for you to get big and strong. Then it will be fun to be with you. I have almost all the time been to see you. I stick my hand in(to your incubator) when I want to touch you. You are lying in an incubator and you are lively. You turn around many times every hour and you are a strong little girl. I play football I’m good at it. Your dad is called Neil. He is a chef and your mum is called Tina and she is very wise. This is me, Cecilie L. Campbell. It is me who has written all this. I go to Vodskov School. I look forward for you to get home to us. Then we become a family. We also have your room ready for you. In the class we are 8 girls and 16 boys. We have a dog at home called Tiree. I live two places. I live at the country site with my mum. I have a little sister called Ida and a little brother called Lasse and a big sister called Tea and a big brother called Dan. And I have many animals. I’m 11 years old. Your parents make fun with me and I’m sure they will do that with you too. We have the best neighbours in the world. I’m in 4th grad class A. That’s the best class. We have the sweetest teachers. I go to reading training, that help’s me read and write. I have to go to handwork class and visual art class today. You came out of your incubator yesterday and now you lye in a crib and you still have your eating tube on”.
I found the letter so touching because: 1. just imagine: Cecilie’s intention to do something like that by her self. Who does that beside Cecilie as an 11 year old? 2. She wants to spend time to write this 3. All the kind thoughts about our family 4. Writing is very difficult for Cecilie. That makes it even more special.
It was a treat to read that story.
