Feb. 23, 2009 - Dear Abby
We've been repainting and redecorating Abby's room. She's turning nine and we want her room to look more tween and less little girl.
Last night after we tucked her in, I could hear her crying in her room. So I went to her and she told me that she likes her new room, but misses the old one. She was only two years old when we moved into this house, so this room is really the only room she can remember.
So I hugged her and told her it was okay to be sad. Changes - even good ones - still come with feelings of loss.
