The Malin Series 5/6: Kilby, Caregiver

(THE MALIN SERIES 5/6: Kilby, Caregiver)

I’ve been watching her since she was a month old. I have seen her blossom into a beautiful little girl. She’s very loving, caring, funny, and gives the best hugs. I introduced her to painting.  She loves to paint. My fondest memory is when a friend of mine came by to pick up a painting I did for her. At that moment she was already painting. My friend asked her if she would do some painting for The Island Home (nursing home). She didn’t understand what an elderly person was, I explained it and she was so excited to do some. She said I want them to be happy and went right to work and did 15 paintings. The Island Home sent out a newsletter to the families to show what this beautiful, loving child did for their family. To this day she will remind me and ask do you remember when I did all those paintings for the grandparents. I do remember and we both smile back at each other. And then I get one of her big beautiful hugs as she says I love you to the moon and back.
