Everything was going really well. I went running with Daniela and then everyone decided to go back to eating at the pool and going swimming. Daniela decided to keep the boys at home one more day so the boys went to class with us. We were eating lunch when off in the distanced we saw a helicopter come this way. Both boys grabbed their mom Daniela and hugged her. The helicopter was requesting landing. Carlson said they could land at a spot outside the gate. He gave them the spot and said he would send someone out to meet it. Carlson and a man in one car and two other men in another car went out. When they got to the helicopter there was a woman and two kids. A girl around 8 and a boy around 5. The women was looking for Matthew and seeking safety for herself and two kids. Carlson put her and the two kids in a car with all her baggage and told the helicopter pilot he could leave. Just inside the gate, security went all through their luggage and checked them out. Once that was done they went to Carlson’s office. Once Carlson was done gathering all the information he needed they took them to a room Carlson had made ready for them. He also assigned a person to be with them and show them around. Megan Brooks, son Josh and daughter Cathy. Megan’s husband had work several years ago with Matthew and he told Megan that if anything happened to him to find Matthew and he would keep her and the kids safe. Megan had taught high school and college in Math and physics.
A couple hours latter Mom received a phone call from Carlson. Mom said bring them out. She asked Carlson do we have some blow-ups for the pool? Carlson told her he would check. A few minutes later Carlson, a woman helping him, the woman Megan and the two kids showed up. Carlson left the woman and two kids with Mom. Someone brought them lunch they hadn’t eaten yet and Carlson’s helper had swimwear for them and a bunch of blow-ups. They sat them at the end of the table with Mom. We were all in the pool except Cindy. Mom sent Cindy to the pool with the blow-ups so she could talk to them. The kids must have been starving because they we eating with both hands. After the kids ate Mom call Amy out of the pool and asked if she would take the kids to one of the changing booths. She got both kids changed and then the kids ran back to Megan. They were both holding on to their mom Megan when Mom said to the three, there is no reason to worry anymore. We are your new family now and if you have a problem just let us know. Mom called Daniela over and asked her to bring the boys and introduce them to Josh and Cathy. So Daniela brought the two boys. On the way out of the pool she told the two boys what was going on. That the two new kids needed friends because their dad had been killed by some bad people. She told them they are new members of our family and need a friend. They boys understood and went and sat at the table. Daniela introduced her boys to the two kids. Just then Carlson show up with a basket and two balls. He gave them to Daniela. Daniela said she was going to put them in the pool incase someone wanted to play with them. Daniela’s boys talked to the two new kids. They talked about what the kids had for lunch and was telling them about their favorite food that the kitchen brings them. The boys told them that living here was really great and they would like it. Daniela told the boys to invite them to go swimming and they asked their mom. Megan said to go ahead and have a good time. The four went to the pool and had a great time. I think it really made the kids feel at home. The kitchen staff sent the 2 kids milk and cookies at bed time. It made Mom really happy when she heard that. She thanked the kitchen staff and told them the kids had just lost their dad. Everyone was going to try and help them during this hard time. Everyone in Mom’s room hit the bed at the regular bed time and felt like they had a good day. I went to sleep dreaming about Matthew. I know I wasn’t the only one missing him.
