Peanut, forever.

I first called her ‘Peanut.’ She opened her eyes, hiccupped, smiled. It stuck.

 

Her third word was “Uncle.” I lost out to “Moo” and what we think was possibly “Purple.”

 

We talk. “Who first called me Peanut?” “I did, Peanut.” She smiles. I do, too.

 

3 weeks ago, she asks, “When I get bigger, what are you going to call me?” Her eyes fill with water. “Are you just going to call me Nut? I don’t want to be Nut.” I hug her hard and assure her that will never happen.

 

For her, I am grateful. My Peanut, forever.
