the last time i saw her,
my doctor met L for the first time.
she has heard a lot about him.
do you know what she said to me this time?
“your son is absolutely delightful.”
i was stunned.
aren’t you, too?
delightful.
my little L
and all of us
are so different
in person
than we are
on paper.
she saw him.
O my son, give me your heart.
May your eyes take delight
in following my ways.
Proverbs 23:26 (NLT)
