Last night, Joe and I helped Madeline gather her favorite stuffed animals, sang "Who's the King of the Jungle," prayed together and tucked her into bed.
An hour later, she was just wide awake so I crawled into her bed to snuggle for a bit. We cuddled silently in her dark room with the fan humming while I stroked her hair.
After a few minutes, she turned on her side to face me and whispered, "I love you, Mommy and I love Baby Rockne and I love Daddy and we are a family."
I kissed her sweet face, whispered back, "Yes we are" and wiped my tears.
I kissed her sweet face, whispered back, "Yes we are" and wiped my tears.
I had to write out that moment so I want to always remember that my life is brimming with blessings.
