I spent my morning gathering everything an 8 year old would need to go hunting with his grandparents. I watched him play with his baby sister on the floor and chase his 2 year old brother around the house. We waved the next two oldest boys off to school and their goodbyes to him were full of emotion. Then he curled up on the couch with his 4 year old sister and read to her from the library book he got just for her.
I feel so incredibly honored to be this child's mother! I heard him say, "Yes Ma'am." to his grandmother and I wanted to cry! He IS paying attention!! Thank you, God!
As they drive away and the naked two year old is waving long after they are out of sight, reality sinks in...my biggest helper is gone for four days! Whatever will I do without him?! Come home soon!
