Do You Really See?

Bibby’s Blessings

My precious children, I can't tell you when in forever I have been as blessed as I have been today! Being with Gaga and Papa inspired me to my core.

It is nothing short of remarkable to see them interact with people. Every. Single. Person. While in waiting rooms, they take an interest in other patients. "I bet you were in a war" to an elderly gentleman whose face was scarred. By the time we left, that man held his head a little higher. Because somebody really saw him and really valued him and told him so.
I'm willing to bet that we knew the receptionist possibly better than some of her own family, because Gaga and Papa learned so much about her just by extending some friendly conversation. And her day was made happier and brighter because someone really cared about her.

To every nurse and doctor, Papa said, "I appreciate your kindness and your expertise" before they left the room. And while they were with them, in one way or another, he gave them a little piece of the love in his heart.

And when all the people except Merle and I were gone, they held each other and wept for joy that they didn't have an immediate reason to be worried for the other.

And it just struck me soooo deeply in my heart...
That every thought and action that flows from their lives is so outside of themselves.

They SEE people. They have spent their lives looking outwardly together.

THIS is your heritage.
And here's the baton...

Run well, my beloved!
