I have hugged and kissed and loved my little Boo so much today. As a mother my heart breaks for those families who, this night, are living the nightmare of loosing their children. Both those in the US and China.
Children are the Lord's most precious and valiant souls. Boo teaches me this everyday. She is so honest in her feelings and understandings. She wants Amazing Grace or Holly and Ivy sung every night. Every night at prayer time she has to thank Him for toys; her most prized things and that the fires don't hurt people (She's hung up on fire - we've seen so much of it this year). She shouts with such pure joy "Jeusus' house" whenever we drive by a Temple. When she sees a picture of Jesus and the scares in his hands she knows that kisses and a band-aid will make it all better. So much love.
Pure joy. Pure excitement. The knowledge that the world is a place of adventure and magic...and good. How I wish the world was as she knows it is. As a mother I have come to understand the words of our Lord - become as a little child. I wish I were so honest a woman and so loving.
Sleep well little angel. You are my best and brightest gift from God.
