A Treasured Moment

There was a moment yesterday, so brief and rare.

Cameron walked into the kitchen after being escorted from the same area while being extremely strong willed. I was frustrated and late making lunch.

He looked up at me and I saw who he really is. Every once in a while there will be a look or just a tighter than usual hug or an unsolicited kiss, that will show me just how much my boys love me and what good souls they really are.

Without asking for another snack, without begging to put on his Thomas the Tank Engine dvd, or saying anything at all, looked up at me and closed his eyes, I reached out and brushed his hair away from his face and he opened his eyes and smiled. I told him that I loved him, and he sighed and whispered that he loved me too.

I knelt down and pulled him close to me, not wanting to ignore that moment. He wrapped his arms around my neck I kissed his cheek, he giggled and squirmed free. And then he was gone, bounding off like a kangaroo without a worry or a care.
