My Beautiful Mama

John was very sad when his mother left for small group this evening. He looked out the window and cried as she drove away. He cried a little more and then walked into the kitchen and pulled a picture of Kristi and me off the shelf. Then he sat down on the floor with his blanket in his hand and the fingers of his other hand in his mouth and gazed at the picture of Kristi.

I love this post.

The next day, I was out for a few hours. I came home and John was happy to see me.

As I made lunch, he came up and hugged my leg. Then my other leg. Then the first.

I crouched down to give him a hug. He gave me a big kiss. I said, "Kiss Mama again?" and he stepped away. What a sweetie.
