My little bee

I've been thinking this over for a few months and have come to this conclusion. Amanda is a bee. She's our daughter - she has a home - in this scenario, let's call it the hive. She is our little bee and flits from flower to flower always coming home to the hive. We're really meant to "share" her. I noticed it on Wednesday at the Cleft Clinic. There was a ten year old girl there who had had a stroke due to a heart surgery. She couldn't talk and made really guttural noises. She also had a lip repair and teeth that really weren't quite right. Amanda decided she was just fine and went up to her as a new friend. She's used to Judah so this little girl didn't scare her away either. They interacted with each other a bit with Amanda telling her all sorts of things through her jibber jabber. At the end, the little girl signed "I love you" to Amanda.

So, all that to say, Amanda is our little bee and being the social animal she is, will continue to flit from flower to flower making friends. And the fun thing is - she gets to come home to her hive bringing all that love she's shared with her.
