DON'T GO

This picture makes me smile.
Last night I was helping Ben get ready for bed.
It was a busy time.
Others needed my help too.
Daddy was gone.
I would go back and forth
between Ben and my other children.
At one point when I was leaving his bedside,
he grabbed hold of my sweatshirt.
It made me smile.
It was as if he was saying,
'DON'T GO'.
Even though others were calling,
I stayed just a little bit longer.

    So next time you're over cleaning and cleaning, if I grab hold of your sweatshirt, will you not flee?
    You're a sweet mom.

    That is a sweet moment to share with us and your sensitivity in not being too busy to savor the moment.

    That made me cry because one day he will say, "Welcome mom...now I can be the one to welcome you."
    WE all need one another. How blessed our family is.
    LOve your music.
