A few hours later, Sunny and Bri were looking around the Tulsa airport
for someone to help with their baggage, (it wasn't much as the rest of
their stuff had been flown ahead and was already waiting in their new house),
Ellie was busy entertaining Matt so none of the four children noticed that
their mother was gone, until she called out from the other side of the
terminal.
'Kids, come meet my best friend,'
Sunny looked up and saw her mother coming towards them with someone
she guessed was Diana.
'Kids, this is Mrs Hanson my best friend,' said her mother
'Please call me Diana, so which of you is which,' Mrs Hanson asked.
Ellie took it upon herself to make the introductions, ' I'm Ellie,
I'm nine, this is Mattie, he's only a baby, this is Bri, she's twelve,
and this is Sunny, she's fourteen,'
'Nice to meet you, ' Mrs Hanson turned to Gail,'Where's little Andrea?'
Sunny's mum replied, ' Andrea won a scholarship at a high school in
Brisbane, so we left her there to board and finished her final year,'
'Oh yes, how old is she now?' Mrs Hanson asked
Sunny answered for her mum, 'she's seventeen,'
'That makes me feel really old, I can remember her as a baby,'
'Mrs Hanson....'
'Diana, please,'
'Diana,' Sunny continued, ' Do you have any children?'
'Yes I do Sunny, seven to be exact,' Diana answered, ' you'll meet
them when we get to your place, we live right next door.'
'If we get there,' Gail picked up the suitcase her family was sharing,'
Come on let's get moving,'
