Separation anxiety

Mum has separation anxiety.  Lily has been poorly for a few days and has gone to hospital with Dad to see his friends and get some medicine to bring home, and Harper and me are at home.  But we are thinking about Lily a lot - we drew her a picture each, read a book for her (as well as one each) and sang a song for her (as well as one each). And we will think about her while we're asleep too.  - Beatrix
Mum: That's a dream
Beatrix: No it's real. I'll really think about her while I'm asleep.
