Our farewell to Veronica was a tearful one. She returned to Colombia in June after living with us for one year. Since she left we have talked regularly via Skype. She already has a return visit planned in December 2009.
When you read the glossy brochures from the au pair agency they always show families with their au pair and testimonials of just how much they love one another and how they have become members of one family, not two. When Nick and I decided to invite an au pair to stay with us and care for Ezra we hoped for a good experience, but I can't say I ever expected to become one of those families. With Veronica, that is just what happened. She will always be a part of our family, and although we have never even visited Colombia, we now have a home and family there as well.
