I just returned about 30 minutes ago from a trip to another part of this state to babysit a (just turned) four-year-old girl, my brother's fiance's child. My soon-to-be sister-in-law got ill and had to spend a few days in the hospital and they had nobody to take care of the baby so I went to clean, cook, babysit and help out.

This precious little girl was adopted. Her Mama raised four of her own children and knew a girl who was going to abort her baby. So, she adopted it, even though she had raised hers, to keep the baby from being murdered.

And this child is the sweetest little girl I have ever known, and I have taken care of and loved many children.

What a precious child!! She told me about every 10 minutes "I wuv yo."

And she'd turn those beautiful big brown eyes up at me and say, every few minutes (just out of the blue) "You okay?"

And I'd say, "Yea." And she'd say "Ya sure?"

Don't know why she kept asking me that.. I told her Mom that when she came home from the hospital and her Mom said "I don't know . . . children just sense things."

The little girl was the best behaved child I have ever cared for, and I'm a Grandma and have cared for a LOT of children. I just sense that this child is so special, she is so smart and loving. I miss her already, even though she is a handfull at her age. I'm not a young chick so chasing a kid this age is a challenge for me.

And to think to somebody she was unwanted, an inconvenience, a fetus.

Gosh I am crying as I write this. Since I'd been deprived of my freerepublic reading a few days to take care of this child this post really hit me hard.

God bless the folks who are on the front lines saving lives like this beautiful little child. I AM HOME NOW AND CAN STILL SEE THOSE BIG, INNOCENT BROWN EYES looking into my soul and can her that sweet little voice saying "Ya okay?" Ya sure?"
