Tonight, Gabriel sang a goodnight song to Joseph. Gabriel pushed Joseph's guitar onto Joseph's bed and clambered up behind it. He sat facing Joseph (who sat expectantly, propped up against his Spongebob pillow and under his MLB comforter) with the guitar between them, like little hippies. Gabriel then strummed and plucked and sang:
"Goodnight, goodnight, and pleasant dreams to you.
Here's a wish, say a prayer, that every dream comes true
And so, until we meet again . . .
Adios, au revoir, auf weidersen. Good night!"
Straight out of the Lawrence Welk songbook. I melted. First at the sight of them being so delicate and loving with each other, then with the realization that Eddie surely taught them this song. What a happy ending to the day.
