We were finishing dinner last night when a quick summer thunderstorm began. Two-year-old Eileen stood on her chair with an expression of horror. "I'm scared," she repeated between bites of macaroni. "I'm scared!"
Four-year-old sage Maureen offered a bit of comfort, "You don't need to be scared. We all love you and take care of you and kiss you."
The perfect summary of family life!
How very sweet!

Not all children are like that, but I'm always grateful that mine, like yours, love each other so well and look so forward to new babies to love. I guess it's a sure sign that, in spite of all the mistakes we've made, we're at least on the right path. :-)
