Siti came to visit today and we all had so much fun. Before she comes, you get very excited, and of course wonder if she is bringing you candy, because she always does. She says to me, "I want him to always have good memories." She likes to feed you. She likes to feed in general, and spent a lot of time asking me and Uncle Rhoni if we wanted more to eat, or "Did you get enough?" Or, "You did not eat anything." It's a Lebanese thing. Eat up. Mangia, as the Italians say.
I did not tell you she was coming before I took you to school. That would have been a disaster and you would not have been able to concentrate. So, I picked you up from school, and said, "I have a surpise for you, and you say, "Mamma! Mamma, What?!" I told you that Siti was waiting at home for you and your face lit up. You asked, "Is she bringing me candy?" When we drove up, you saw her and you smiled from ear to ear. It was so precious! From the moment you got out of the car, you went crazy. You were so keyed up. I could not calm you down. I kept telling Siti that you were so fired up and that you needed to calm down, and she said, "Of course he is. He's just excited." She thinks everything you do is wonderful. You all had so much fun. We made a fire and you and Siti sat in front of it for awhile and talked. She did bring you candy, of course. Siti loves you so very much and you two have a special bond. She has spent a lot of time snuggling in bed with you! She always says, "Who does Siti love?" You say, "Hudson!"
When I was little, she would said, "Who is the most beautiful woman in the world?" I would say, "Mamma!" Then she would say, "Who does Mamma love?" I would say, "Me!" She is a passionate woman, full of love, your Siti. We're so blessed to have her.
