Bursting heart moment
So maybe it was a bit coached, but Mallory told me she loved me this evening. First time ever.
I was up on the deck, emptying planter boxes of old dirt and Irene brought her up for a visit.
“What do you have to tell daddy,” she asked.
As silent as you can imagine, “I love you.”
Made my year, I tell you.

Best thing about this, is that no matter how old your kid gets, this never, ever, gets old.It brings me near tears every single time.

It’s the best thing, isn’t it?

So sweet! Reminds me of tearing up a while ago when Rosie looked up at me and, apropos of nothing, said "You a very good mama".
