November 26. “Button, I am very sad that the workers have boarded up the door to your room because of the repairs.

That means we won’t get to see each other and hug our therapeutic hug for 10-12 days! I can’t speak for you but I will miss that.”

“Don’t worry. 10-12 days will pass without any of us realizing it. I will miss that hug too”

“I know you’re saying all this to make me feel good.”

“Can I tell you about my butterfly friend? She flew in from somewhere and came and sat on my nose. I went cross-eyed looking at her and she laughed and laughed and laughed. When I asked her why she was laughing so much, she told me to look in the mirror and it was only then, after seeing my reflection, that I realized why she was laughing. She then flew away.”

“Do you remember what happened on this day last year?”

“26/11: How can anyone forget! You look tired and sleepy. Go to bed.”

“Button, I’ll hug you many times over once they remove the ply and I am able to go into your room again.”

“Don’t forget, eh.”
