Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, Love gives us a fairytale.

I Cry Sometimes Too

Last night Jon came home early (yeah!) so we quickly piled into the car and ran some errands. Upon arriving home I realized that I didn't thaw the hamburger for dinner or cook the beans and it would take me at least an hour to get food on the table. I started to cry. I'm not even sure why, just one of those days I guess. So Jon gives me a hug and asks what he can to do help. Ila comes up to me and gives me a hug and looks directly into my eyes and asks, "You sad mama? You crying? It okay. I cry sometimes too." I cried a few tears just for her, she is so sweet.

I had a frustrating morning recently, and my Ammon was the first one (they all came eventually) to come and comfort me. He said, "You're the only one that thinks those negative things, Mom; we think you're a good mom..." Awe! :) I love precious moments like that. I always try to see it as Heavenly Father telling me I'm doing a good job nurturing these tender little spirits! ♥
