I Love You Mom


Each night before dinner, our family kneels down, and we say a family prayer together.  Well, everyone kneels except Henry.  Since he was big enough to climb onto my back, he has crawled on and lain on my back like a floppy teddy bear during the prayer.  I lean my forearms onto a kitchen chair to support his weight.

Normally, I expect our kids to be quiet during the prayer, but I just can't stop this one.  Every time we pray, Henry leans over to my ear in the middle of the prayer and whispers, "I love you Mommy, very much."  Sometimes he whispers, "I love you Mommy, and I don't ever want you to die."
