i grew up with a mother who kissed me goodnight every single night. who always hugs hello and goodbye (even strangers. be forewarned.) and who told me that she loved me. multiple times a day.
finn already knows the family joke. hey! finn! we say sternly, with a tone of serious business.
what? she will look sideways, through her hair at us.
i love you.
(deep sigh.)
i love you, too. i love your heart. (which might just be my favorite thing ever that she says.)
and she tells her baby brother that she loves him. out of nowhere. for no reason whatsoever.
and i think.
we're doing something right.
makes me feel like rolling down hills.
smiling.

You are so correct in how much this world has changed - i see families struggling every day around me and it is hard to say how it will turn out. Do your best, know you will make mistakes and that is all anyone can do.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. There is a woman/friend that I work with. She is always yelling over her shoulder as she hustles down the hall..."I love your heart Sister." She's the only one I have ever heard say it. Now Finn :) I so want your mamma.
