Cash has always waited for me. Tonight I told him I’d be back in his room after Quinn fell asleep, so I could sit with him and tell him a story while he fell asleep. And then I forgot. He kept asking Colin where I was…even keeping himself from drifting off before I returned. He does this on my late nights working. And he does it when babysitters stay with them. He quietly sneaks out of bed to look for me. Sweet, sweet Cash.
Here’s where he wrote M-O-M on my side of the bed. Just when I think he’s outgrowing me, he reminds that his little boy self needs and wants me just as much as ever. Time changes what that looks like, but I hope that little boy always has a place in his heart for his mama.
Joyful Striving
