Oh and I forgot to add to that that she started by telling me he finally was calling me "Mama" again -- apparently for a long time he referred to me by my first name to her and wouldn't call me "Mama" or even "your mom" until today's pronouncement that "Mama is a real a$$hole." !!! This seems so MLC-ish to me, this weird detachment from himself as a father to his daughter, his loss of awareness that she is a little girl with a mom but instead in his mind has become some kind of same-aged confidante. It's so strange.
I believe I will see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord with courage. Be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
