Every day, God bless my little divas. They say things that amaze me. Every. Single. Day.
While shopping the other day, I held up a cute little t-shirt for my 5 yr old to look at. She said “It’s pretty, but what’s it say?” I told her it says, “My heart belongs to Mommy” and her face lit up as she squealed, “We finally found a Mommy shirt! I’ll take it!” and she snatched it out of my hand. Most of the time, you see little girl shirts that say “I heart Dad” or “My heart belongs to Daddy”... she’s had those but was genuinely excited to have found a shirt with MY name on it. It made me a little teary that she was so excited over it.
My oldest daughter said something that really surprised me, just after I got my daughters’ names tattooed on my sides recently. I was changing clothes and before I got my shirt on, she started lightly running her fingers up and down both her and her sister’s names, then wrapped her arms around my waist and looked up at me. She said, “This is so perfect, because just in case anything ever happens to me or Sissy, we’ll be part of you forever.” I couldn’t believe that a 10 yr old would think of something like that.
I love my little angels, bless their devilish antics. Sometimes I feel a need to run away screaming, but other times… they really touch me.
