News from Sofia

November 7th, 2011

Sofia and I worked out at the platform this morning. I did fairly well for a Monday morning. We came back to the house for lunch and mom and Sofia were talking about Christmas plans and when Sofia would be going to San Jose to spend Christmas with her family.  Plans were made and all things were well.  Mom then asked Sofia  that when she was ready to leave us one day that would she give my mom and dad two months notice to find someone else. The next thing you know Sofia is telling my mom that she will be leaving in December and will not  be coming back after Christmas. Sofia has decided to go back to school and study Nanotechnology. Classes start after the new year.

The look on my mom’s face was utter shock… I could not believe what I was hearing either. We knew Sofia would not stay with us forever that one day she would leave but we were not expecting it to be so soon. Mom and I were very sad to hear the news. My parents trust Sofia and well Sofia and I have become very good friends. She never stops talking to me, we make up names of all the different animals at the platform together, we sing songs, read books, she massages me, well I could go on forever. We are really close and I am very sad to hear she is leaving. More than anything I felt really sad for my mom, I could see her heart was heavy. Her last day will be December 16th.

After the shock wore off mom got on the phone and called Daniella. Remember her? She came on board after Sabrina left us. She is still studying right now and will be graduating in May with her Physical Therapy degree. Daniella will be continuing my therapy  after Sofia leaves as she has two weeks off from school for vacation. It will be good to see her again.

Mom later called Itzi  she was one of the girls we interviewed when we were interviewing Sofia.  We liked Itzi and it turns out that she is not working in a clinic but making house calls to patients in San Jose. She is interested in the job.  Her and her parents will be coming out to look at where we live and see if she likes it out here in the jungle.  They are coming November  19th.

So that was the big news of the week. We are all adjusting to it and are happy for Sofia. It is great that she wants to continue her education. We are sure going to miss her though.

Love Malia
