Agua
"Agua" she says."Agua please." She is 20 months old and agua is the one word in Spanish she uses regularly. She learned it from the little girl downstairs, the one whose door she knocks on every day, the one she hugs so tightly every time they are together. She doesn't know it yet but that little girl is moving away tomorrow. And when she next goes "knock, knock" on that door, the face of her first best friend, the one she adores, will not be there in response. I only hope she always recalls who taught her to say "agua."

That's about all I can say in Spanish after 3 years.

She will remember as her values will continue to be cultivated and nurtured by her parents and grandparents who will continue to share her joy in embracing ethnic, cultural and any and all differences among people!!

I was 6 years-old when I was told my best friend had to leave the country and that I would never see her again. I was traumatized.
Be careful with your words. Children are so vulnerable because they perceive the world to be small and constant.
