For the longest time while holding Lexi's hand I say, "I love you" and squeeze her hand 3 times, one for each word. When we walk to her classroom each school day holding hands, I squeeze her hand 3 times. Sometimes I say the words and sometimes I don't (I of course say "I love you" as I drop her off at the classroom door). Lexi started squeezing my hand in return. On Thursday, as we were walking down the hallway, we ran into a friend. I was talking to the mom while holding Lexi's hand. Lexi squeezed my hand 3 times before I squeezed hers. I know she knows it means, "I love you" and I love how it is our little thing. :)
Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
