After what Johanna said to me about Madison tonight, it reminded me of this very touching moment...
A few days after my dad passed away (wow, almost 4 years ago), Madison saw me paralyzed with grief. I remember she looked me straight in the eyes and held my cheeks and said...
"I am so sorry, momma. Gung Gung is still with us. He was so good to everyone. And he loved everybody especially you. But it was his time to die. He was in the hospital too long. Sometimes it's sad but Gung Gung doesn't want you to be sad. I know it's very hard.
Momma, when you cry, I cry, too. I don't know why. When I see people cry, sometimes I cry too."
Madison was only 6 years old.
About Me
- DD
- I was born & raised in Vancouver, BC but now live in suburban Kirkland, WA. I love adventure although I seem to be more cautious since having kids. Scuba diving, sky diving, two safaris in Africa, backpacking Europe, soul-searching in Israel, and the list goes on, have all been in my distant past. Now, my life is about family and raising my kids to love God, love people and serve the world. I have got one talented husband, one angel child, one spirited child, and a large, supportive extended family. Life is good.
