Kay was in her own bed today when I arrived. Not really asleep. I had saved a muffin from my breakfast for her. She ate it as if she was hungry. She also had a couple truffles because I thought she seemed so hungry. Although it was sugar she needed more food and that was all I had. They said she was at breakfast and lunch. Apparently she just did not eat very much. More indication she is hungry. I hate to think she is hungry all the time. We just stayed together on the bed while I was there. There is no other place for us. She just likes to be with me. As I am there such a short time I would rather be with her and do nothing else. I was still with her when the shuttle came a little early in fact. Too bad the shuttle cant be early on the pickup and late on the return. She was dressed in her red outfit from Dianne. I see these kind of outfits in other places. Even here by the staff so apparently it was no accident that Dianne picked this for her mom. Kay seems to be a favorite among the patients here. Good selection as she is the prettiest. She waved back to me when I left for home so she was not hurt by my leaving.
I have been wondering what is this emotion I feel from being isolated from family and friends? I think it is very similar to how a soldier or sailor feels when they are in other countries separated from their family and friends during war. I felt that way during WW2 and the occupation. I was looking for a picture of me reading a letter from Kay while there at Darmstadt. Never can seem to find a particular picture when I want it. Leaving Kay and coming here alone is the same.
