Today Sanvi, my little in-house counselor, Dr.Phil and Oprah all rolled into one asked me "Do you love Daddy?". I said "Of course I do!". She said very astutely "He loves you a lot and will never let you go out of his sight even for a minute!". I think to myself - ok, all this is in the present tense - where is she going with this train of thought? So I played along with present tense too like he was here. So I told her "Sanvi - it's not practical for him to keep an eye on me all the time - what about when I go to work or he goes to work or we go on errands?". She then said very clearly "Mamma - I am not talking about all that - I am talking about how Daddy is always watching you every minute from heaven and he will not let you out of his sight because he loves you sooo much!!" I was stumped and at a loss for words - here she was giving me reassurance and emotional support in my sad moments when most adults cannot provide me such firm mental support. So i tell her "Sanvi, daddy loves you and ronak also very much and is always watching you".
As i sit here writing this, my digital pboto frame flashes tons of pictures from when she was born to her being a toddler. My little baby girl has not even turned eight as yet and she's such a wise old soul. Bless her heart!
