Today, I just wanted to share a sweet little story from my trip home this past weekend; of course it’s about one of my little sweeties, Abby. I got to spend a lot of time with her this past weekend, along with my nephew, Teagan. My mother and I took the two with us while we went shopping and out to eat. They were very well-behaved, despite a little tiff here and there, but that’s understandable, because they’re only 2 and 3. When we got home that day, Abby and Teagan were playing with their toys, entertaining themselves, and out of nowhere, Abby goes, “You know..You always have a room here.” I immediately felt emotional. How does such a little girl offer up a comment that evokes such big emotions? I always have a room at home. I can always come home. She loves when I come to visit, all of the babies do, but after that comment, I never wanted to leave. I can’t believe how grown up these kids are when they’re barely out of their toddler years, and how intelligent they are. The connections they make amaze me.
I know they’re not my children, but I treat them as my own, so this quote fit perfectly.
