As I look at Mai, I'm in shock at how much time has flown. It seems just like yesterday that I was worried about giving birth to her, and here we are 4 almost 5 years later and my little girl is not so little anymore. She's a very independent young lady and she most definitely does not get that from me. That's all her father in a nutshell. She wants something and she gets it. She may look like me, but I can see Mama in her too, and that makes me wonder what she would do if she discovered that I had a child. Or being married for that matter. Would she be happy? Would she be mad? I never knew my father, so I have no memory of him. Part of me wonders if I did have the chance, would he be proud of the lady I turned out to be?
With those questions in mind, I also yearn for the day when Christine comes to the island. I'm sure she would love to see her Goddaughter. After all Mai's middle name is after my dearest friend whom I love like a sister. I do not think I would like to run into OG, but I'd love to see Christine. It was bittersweet that she was not there to see me marry the man who captured my heart, but I hope that someday she will. And now that Mai is older, I;m telling her more of my world. Not much mind you but enough to keep her satisfied till she's older. Plus we are all curious if she will develop magical ability. But until then, I am happy seeing her dive into the hobby I love. Who knew that all this was possible by arriving to an island I hated at first. It's the little things.
