Easter buckets, and a morning at the dog park/playground, followed by an egg hunt and snacks with the Fervers...napping in the car, and then gardening before bed. What a day!!
You and I were playing a chasing game...we were having so much fun!! You tripped and skinned your nose, which had you bummed for a minute or two, but you bounced back pretty quickly. How silly, the emotions that went through me! I was so sad that you fell, then that you fell while having fun, then that you fell while having fun on my watch, then that you will fall a lot in life, then that I won't always be there when you fall, then that you won't always want me there when you fall.... I decided instead of staying in this line of thinking, that I'd focus on the fact that this time I DID get to be there, and that it's pretty great that you feel good enough about the world that you bounced right back and had a good time anyway. My soul will always do whatever it can to be there for you, Kiddo... Know that...
