Walking out of the library this evening, I held open the door for a gentleman who was holding his little daughter. Both were laughing as we walked towards the parking lot, their car parked alongside mine.
The young lady began to sing a familiar tune with a touch of slow, soulful beat:
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are gray.
You’ll never know dear how much I love you.
Please don’t take my sunshine away.
The way the little girl sang the song was almost angelic.
At the end of the song, the gentleman was quiet.
I heard the little girl ask “Daddy, why are you crying?”
I couldn’t look up as tears also began to form in my eyes.
I wanted to, but I didn’t want to intrude in their moment together.
I can only imagine what he must have been feeling.
The words in the song have such a deeper meaning to me now than before...

Dear Noel..from one day to the next, you can be happy and then be so sad again.
It is paining you so much about your children. I really wish that the Lord will soon overrule in this and that you will be able to see the dear little ones more often. I am sure that they are missing you too!...Love Terry
