Ray played Uno at least twenty-five times, gave Etsegenet Sees candy, made her a spaghetti dinner from our store of dehydrated camp food, and colored with her. For part of the time Etsegenet just wanted to watch her dad color in her new Barbie color book.
So one day Ray colored a beautiful picture of a prince riding through the forest to rescue the beautiful princess. He crossed out the names on the page and inserted Dad for the prince and E's name for the damsel in distress. He gave this color page to her with a promise that in two weeks her daddy would indeed come to get her and bring her safely home. She carefully stored the picture in her new carry on. The look of hope on her face is an image I stored carefully in my mind.
Well tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn Prince Dad will begin his arduous trek to bring our Beautiful Etsegenet home. He said to me this week that the only cure for the plight of the orphan is to give them a home and now their in one less fatherless child in the world. I don't know about you, but I think every girl wants a daddy just like this.
