This was very surreal. I am still not sure what to make of it.
Last night Sadie pointed at a design on my shirt and said "angel". Although it wasn't actually a picture of an angel, I wondered why she would even think such a thing, or use the word. I said, "where did you hear about angels from?". She said, "the angel book". I said, "where is the angel book?" She got up and went to the drawer in the coffee table where we keep her books. The whole time she was digging in there I was trying to rack my brain thinking of any book she has with angels in it. Then I helped her dig and she said, "there it is!" It was a photo album with some pictures that Isabel and Zoe had taken a long time ago of goofy stuff. We put them in there for Sadie to enjoy. I opened it up and we looked through the photos of friends, her sisters, stuff animals, zoo animals, etc. Then we came to a picture of my mother. My mother passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2004, before Sadie was conceived. The picture didn't really show her face. She was in her basement doing laundry. I asked Sadie, "who's that?" Quickly she said Daddy. Then she seemed to think for a few seconds, then looked at me and said, "Grama". Whoa. That's heavy. How did she know that? Did she look at the photos recently and someone tell her it's Grama? I'm not sure. It's all very mysterious and fascinating. She's only 2 1/4 years old so anything can come out of a child's mouth at this age. It does make you wonder, though...
One scrappers struggle to make time for her hobby, in a sea of distractions...
