Wednesday night I got a phone call that no one wants to get. After going in for what we thought would be a successful surgery, I got the news that my Grandma (Magaw Nita to Goober) was in very critical condition and that I needed to come see her because she might not make it. Of course, this upset me and as hard as I tried, I couldn't stop the tears.
Lily has only seen my cry once. It's just not something I do often and I have to be beyond upset for it to happen. So of course she was a little freaked out. It upset her at first, until I told her that Magaw Nita was very sick and that's why Mommy was sad and hugging Daddy. She left and came back a few minutes later, holding out her hand.
"Here, Mommy. I colored you a picture." She rubbed my back and looked me right in the eyes. "Don't be sad, Mommy. It's ok."
And how could I be so upset after that. All I could do was give her a hug & kiss and tell her how much I loved her.
Later that night, she colored a picture for Papa Harold and another picture for Magaw Nita, so that they would feel better too. I am so blessed to have such a compassionate little girl in my life. She makes my heart melt.
