I was in an 8pm meeting in Thursday when several other parents on the call were talking about how they had to distract their kids or feed them something simple so they could make it to this call. At that time, my youngest was upstairs folding all our laundry, including sheets and towels.
Today, after he and I went grocery shopping, my back started hurting on the way home, so when we returned, he put away all the groceries, washed all the fruit and vegetables, put the bags by the door and then started the dishwasher and a load of laundry.
No one and nothing is perfect here, not even close. And yet there is so much goodness in my life. People who love me and find millions of ways to show me that love. Little boy does it by saying yes to the chores. And hugs. He also always says yes to hugs.
I am so very lucky and so very grateful.
Yes to seeing those who love us.
