  1. What a beautiful reminder. Sometimes I have such a hard time saying yes to the little (seemingly unimportant) requests from my kiddos… but it’s always worth it! You’d think that would make it easier to form into a habit…

  2. Made me cry a little. January 2016 sucked bad. I had bronchitis since before Christmas (it is now letting up), grandpa went downhill health wise, & then passed, and the week after the funeral, when I had hoped to be plunged into normalcy, Nick had the flu, and Sam ran a fever of 105 (!?!?) For four days. I lived (mentally, though sometimes literally) in a pit. I went through the stages of grief with anger hitting the hardest.

    I tell you all this, not to have a pity party, though I’ll willingly admit I attended a few in my mind, but to say (in a long winded way), when I absolutely thought I was ready to crawl back into bed and quit, it was always something said, or done by one of the children that righted me (and I’ll give Nick a bit of credit too).

    I was utterly astounded every time it happened, but truthfully, sometimes they know me better than I know myself. Probably since they lived so close to my heart ;-).
