Apples

In the Christian literature there is a term of endearment which says that one who is loved by God, is "the apple of my eye".
One possible derivation of this strange expression is that when you are close to someone, emotionally but more significantly physically, it is sometimes possible to see your own reflection in their eye. That is the "apple".
What a way to express love... And be loved... To have your loved ones reflection in your eyes.
The eyes of the one who calls me Papa sparkles with all who love her.
She is the apple of my eye!
