“One day my little daughter told me, ‘Mom, every time Grandpa gives me a bath, he asks me to play a game. I have to close my eyes, and while they’re closed, he does something…’ I froze. The next day, I opened the bathroom door without warning… and what I saw made my legs start shaking
My daughter, Emily, was six years old when she first said the sentence that kept me awake almost the entire night.
That afternoon, we were in the kitchen. I was making dinner while she sat at the table drawing.
Then, without even looking up, she said,
“Mom, did you know Grandpa and I have a game?”
I smiled.
