Last night I was giving Maly a bath and I was trying to wash her hair. She’s hit or miss if I can get her to wash her hair. I started to get her hair wet when she freaked out and started screaming and crying. I left the bathroom for a minute and came back with a loose plan to distract her:
“Hey, Maly! Who is my mommy?”
“Huuuh?”
“Who is Daddy’s mommy?”
“Grandma!!!”
“Yeah! That’s right!”
“And who is Daddy’s daddy?”
“Grandpa!!!”
“Yep!”
“And he’s with Jesus.”
And that’s when I had to leave the bathroom for another minute to shed a couple tears while reveling in my lineage and my little girl, sitting in that bathtub, for whom I want to live forever.
