She is that...and I'm a fairly objective grandma. Even my mother, who had 9 of her own and helped raise 27 grandchildren and now has many great grandchildren keeps commenting on Aliza's singularity as a child. She just has an other worldly intuitiveness and intelligence far beyond her age and that started showing up really early....kind of freaky and uncanny but also wondrous to behold.
You know that old Black Crow song about drug addiction called "She Talks to Angels"? When she was just a baby she would smile suddenly towards the ceiling and start jabbering away at nothing, smiling this beautiful smile of such sunny joy that we would often wonder if she was able to see and talk to her guardian angel. As she has aged, we still notice how different she is from other children...she notices things a kid that age shouldn't notice and then acts on it, her vocabulary is not childlike at all, nor are her thought processes.
It all has the effect of leaving us in wonderment most of the time and also feeling much honored to know her and be loved by her. Can't say I've ever felt that way about a child, even my own, whom I loved~and still love~ dearly and more than my own life.
She's a strange and wonderful experience, for sure.
She sounds like a lovely child. I think she and my daughter would get along. My daughter acts and speaks much older than her age and says the most wonderfully intuitive things. She has a hard time with kids her age because she's so different. No time for a lot of nonsense either!
I thank God today for the strong and sweet smell of honeysuckle the fan is bringing through my window tonight and the millions of stars He knows by name, all shining brightly in the firmament. Getting to see them is incredible and, if it didn't hurt my neck so bad, I'd just stand and gaze at them for hours. So clear and bright I can almost hear them singing!
I thank the Lord for time with family, for good hard work to do and the strength He gave me to complete it. I hurt tonight, seems like all over, but I thank God I can feel and move my body....many people can't and I am so very blessed!
I thank Jesus for my life, for saving me and keeping me, for loving me that much. Today, as with every day, my life is filled with blessings so heaped up that it's beyond comprehension. Peace that surpasses understanding and a constant joy bubbling over in my heart!
