Yesterday was Emma's second visit to the hospital to see Papa. It amazes me how connected the two of them are. He wasn't very responsive but then looked at her and said hey Emma. She would hold his hand and stare at his face (the same thing I have done every morning).
He was trying to talk at one point and Emma said mommy he is crying for his Mama. Mommy he said Mama. On the way home I asked her if Papa was crying. She said yes he was crying for his mama. I asked how she knew and she responded because he had tears didn't you see them? I will be honest I looked at his face (because I want his face etched in my memory) and there were no visible tears on his face.
When we walked out of the hospital she just started singing Jesus Loves Me, and again this morning she walked up to me in the kitchen singing Jesus Loves Me. When we walked outside to leave for daycare she kept saying Jesus is strong.
I have ben one of the ones that can understand Pa when he talks, but yesterday there were times that I couldn't. When Emma was talking to him she said something I couldn't understand, Pa turned towards her and reached for her hand.
I do not know the depth of the relationship of these two people that I love so much, but I know something there is a strong bond there. I am glad God is reassuring me through my child, and through His love for me.
I am forever Pa's girl, and Emma is forever Papa's girl.
