Sometimes I visit Talia. I try to interact with her during the visits, play simple board games or sing and dance a little, and walk on the nature trail or ride on the swing, weather permitting. She also looks for my home cooked food. However, there is always a pain in me when I say goodbye, a pain I don't have with my older daughter or my brothers. I think it's that she does not understand when I'm coming back, and that she is still a baby to me in some ways and I want to take care of her. She is always calm to leave with staff, but I feel sad she has to be so far away and I only see her every three weeks. I once had a dream I took her back home, she was sitting on my living room floor playing with one of her baby toys. I called her old therapists to come back to the house and put her back in her day school. I then called my mother and told her Talia was back home. First she said, "That's nice." Then I told her I took her out of JRC. My mom then said, "What's wrong with you?" I have to remember I put her away for her safety and that was what is best for her. The video is from our last visit of us playing Connect 4.
