you are loved

I drove past my dad when I was in town today. I called him, and I asked, “ Was that you?” Yes. My voice broke, cracked. He said,”Meet me for coffee.” So I did. I needed my dad today. I just didn’t know it. Turns out he needed me too. It did wonders talking to him. We talked for an hour and a half.

Emma got invited to a sleepover this upcoming Friday. She is sooo excited about it. We were discussing it this evening. Then she HUGGED me. She hugged me HARD. She said,” Thank you for everything,mom. I can tell by your eyes you’ve had a rough day.” She squeezed tighter. I cried. Sobbed actually, my body shaking. She then said, “I love you, mom.” I cried louder.
