Usually when I leave in the morning C.J. is sound asleep. This morning I was running a little late and before I could leave C.J. was wide awake. I heard her squirming around in her crib and when I look down to pick her up her bright eyes were fixed upon my face. At this point I'm leaning over to Shatema saying, "I think I am going to call out." Just seeing her face full of smiles and her eyes following my every move was enough to melt me instantly. Even though my heart said to stay, my head said take your butt to work. So I prayed with my two ladies, kissed them on the forehead like I do every morning and made my way to the door.
Upon returning home today I performed as usual by taking off my suit jacket and washing my hands. Even though C.J. was asleep I picked her up. I did this today because the feeling I left home with never left as the day grew older. Today I believe that absence does make the heart grow fonder. At this rate my heart will grow very large because the days are so long and they keep me away from my C.J., who if the jury remains the same will have another nickname of "Twin" because she looks like her daddy. So feeling so compelled I added another picture to the catalog to freeze this moment in time.
As another night is upon us C.J. and I are doing just fine. A bond is being formed that no one will ever be able to infiltrate. A relationship for the ages is developing here in Old Bridge. One that prayerfully will be an example to others. Oh yeah I almost forgot. You all know that C.J. is being home schooled at this very moment. Shatema shared that everyday between two and three o'clock they watch "Sid The Science Kid", link provided (http://pbskids.org/sid/) this show will strengthen her Science skills which we all know in this world she will need. The show also reinforces all the science related stuff I have bought for her already! Well for tonight that is all folks. As always, remember to pray because prayer changes things!
