Make new friends...but keep the old

Conversation between me and Ryan last night during dinner:

Ryan: "Where's Monique?" (Monique was his absolute favorite teacher at his previous school)
me: "I'm not sure where she is, she is probably at home. We can call her sometime to say hi if you want."
Ryan: (Picking up my Blackberry) "Call Monique!"
me: "Do you miss Monique?"
Ryan: "Yes. And my friends."
me: "Which friends?"
Ryan: "Greer and Wen-Shiang." (friends from his previous school)

The way he said it, in a little soft voice, just about broke my heart. I blinked back tears, gave him a hug and told him we will see them soon. I think a phone call to Monique, and a playdate with his little friends, definetely needs to be scheduled.
