A Wise Little Soul

The conversation went like this..."Mimi, where is Grand Papa ?" I told her he went home to his house in Florida..."But, this is his house Mimi, he needs to live here with you and Papa. Mimi, where is your mother ? Oh yeah, she died. Do you miss her Mimi ?" "Yes, very much" I said. 
Mei-Ling paused a minute, then put her arm around me and said, "you'll be o.k. Mimi, I am here to watch you and love you. " This child is an old soul in a little 5 year old girls body.
