Last night, just after reading CJ his night-time story, I was overcome with a surge of love and happiness. I gave him a squeeze and said, “I’m so glad I get to spend time with you”
Immediately as I said it, I thought– “Come on, Jen- that is way over his head.”
But then he responded with, “Because you don’t have to go to work any more?”
“Yes!” I responded with surprise. He gets WAY more than I think he does.
Then he hugged me back and said, “Me too, mom.”
Sigh. These are the moments that I live for.
