| Emily, Melissa and Cocoa |
The reason it takes five suitcases for two ladies on vacation for one week is that two of the cases are stuffed with Emily's hand-me-downs and gifts intended for Melissa's "adopted" family in Mazatlan, Mexico. It's been four years since Melissa and Emily have seen the family, so the excitement and anticipation was at full throttle when they departed Hubert today on Sun Country. The Mexican family is so grateful for Melissa's generous and heartfelt involvement in their lives that they named a child after her. Little Melissa is now seven years old, and today there's a ton of stuff winging its way from her American "sister."
Melissa was up late last night with a friend, setting up a second-hand computer to leave with the family. .. loaded with Skype.
Before departing today, mother and daughter said goodbye to "Cocoa," who will be in the care of a neighbor for the next week.
