Bob said last night, a bit sadly, that he thinks Lilli is entering a new stage in which she loves me best. I disagreed, as I think it's only that she is most used to me and thus *needs* me most. BUT, as I reminded Bob, even though it is a wonderful thing to feel needed, I would *HAPPILY* give up being most needed for being only "equally" needed. If you know what I mean. :)
