I love you very, very much

It's truly the little things in life - the words said, the hugs, the smiles, the small deeds, that mean so much. Christen wanted to write after seeing me write the memory verse on the blackboard. So she went to her whiteboard and said, " I want to write ' I love Daddy, I love Lauren, I love God, I love Mommy." She proceeded to draw a picture of Daddy, and wrote I love Daddy with help with spelling from me. Then she stared at me intently, and said, " Your face is an oval."She drew a few shapes, but wasn't satisfied. She asked me to help her draw it finally. Then she said, " I love myself too, so I'll draw myself. I draw myself next to you because I love you very, very much."

She said it in a matter-of-fact way, but I was floating up to the clouds. :) That was the highlight of my otherwise disastrous day.
