Mami y Papi
Today I heard the most beautiful sound… We went to drop
Daniela off at my mom’s, her father Daniel is a wonderful cook. He made soup
for us all, we sat, ate, talked and had a wonderful time. Daniela has been
particularly clingy and she was adorable as always, in spite of being
exhausted. When it was finally time to leave, Daniel surprised me, surprised us
all, when he told Daniela, “Kiss Mami and Papi goodbye…” My heart skipped a
beat. It was such a beautiful sound. It was the most beautiful thing I had
heard in a while. I realize I cannot let the hope in my heart carry me away,
but I enjoyed the moment thoroughly nonetheless.
Earlier while we were all talking, Daniel told us that his
eye sight is getting worse. That he doesn’t go out at night because he can’t
distinguish things in the dark. As his health gets worse, I know he is thinking
more of Daniela. Please say a prayer with us that Daniela can be taken care of.
