"Are you sure Little Miss?" Papa asked me patty my hand the way he had countless times when I was a child, in his eyes I was still that child. The feeling of being loved and protected suurounded me, I knew no matter the distance between him and ma those sensation would never fail. It was for that knowledge I was growing my strength and courage.
"Yes daddy I am sure. God is calling for me to do this." Tears whell in the corners of his eyes, I feel my own raising to show themselves as well.
"I am not sure if I have ever told you this before Christy but I am so proud of you. I'll admit when you were a little girl spinning in the yard, your giggles filling my heart I wanted nothing for you except to be a proper sophisticated lady. With the tea parties, social gatherings arranged for you in perfect direction. Now I know you have a larger dystany to answer." The tears fall down at his words and the strength I knew he had to stir up to find the courage to say them out loud. Cuttergap, Asheville, or anywhere in between men didn't express their feelings, a sign of weakness it was considered to them.
"It's because of you and ma that all of this is possible. You have made me stronger than I ever thought I could be. This a path that God has selected for myself and David, I don't know for how long or what will happen. I do have faith it'll be okay. I hope you have that same faith." He nods releasing his tears down taking a hold of my hand and squeezing. His psychical strength almost completely back now.
"Yes Christy I do have faith. I guess deep down I am just being selfish, I don't want to lose you. At least when you were in Tennessee I could still visit, letters didn't long to arrive to our doors, I could pretend you were just down the street when I started to miss you. Now you'll be far from me, it could take months for letters to come and visiting will be impossible. Christy are you positive you want to go to China?" The last words are said with a hint of laughter, he knew I was just as stubborn as he and not changing my mind.
"It won't be forever daddy I promise."
