The year that Bill was gone, Ali Shoupe practically lived at our house. She was my neighbor, my math student, my right arm, my babysitter, my buddy and my adoptive sister. Charles called her "Mommy Ali", and Anthony wanted to marry her. And today, the day before her flight home to Germany, she came and spent a few hours with us letting the kids climb all over her
and updating us on all that's happened since we saw her family last. From when we picked her up at the Metro to when we dropped her off again she was beseiged by children and requests that she come live with us when she's 18, 24, 30, or with her husband when she gets married (and to hurry up and do that and have a baby too). It was a very quick "hello" and "goodbye" visit, but it was great to see her.
