From March 9, 2019

Over the last few months, Baby Ruth has become increasing more attached to me. She follows me around, wants to hold my hand, wants me to pick her up. She does not speak…except for one word: papa. Whenever I leave, either to go upstairs or leave the compound, she waves goodbye and blows kisses. I have no idea what brought about this new level of affection. It puzzled me. But then I began to think she has been with us for a long time; she came as an infant.
