With Tears in My Eyes
Jul 25th, 2008 by michelle
I was sitting on the couch with my laptop, and my little man was standing on the other side of the living room watching a movie (yes, he was standing).
He slowly walked over to me and handed his stuffed dinosaur, Little Foot, to me. He then sat down next to me and whispered, “I love you.” Not sure I had heard him correctly, I asked, “What, honey?” With the most tender expression on his face, he looked me right in the eyes, cuddled up close to me and said,
“I love you, Mommy.”
Sniff. Sniff. I love my boy!!
Just to let you know that will also be a ’sniff, sniff’ moment when he’ll be seventeen and he comes into the kitchen when you are making dinner and he’ll give you a great big 6 foot 4 bear hug and that deep voice says….’hey mum, love ya’
…yea it’ll still get to ya…
Sniff, sniff.
deep motherly sigh… such precious times!
Ahhh, you mothers! Blessed! A beautiful anecdote …
Many years!
