Evan: “I love you,
Mom.”
Me: “I love you
too, Evan”
Evan: “I love you,
Mom.”
Me: “I.
Looovvvve. Youuuuu.”
Evan: “Mom, you
forgot to say something.”
Me: “I love you TOO.”
This is a conversation Evan and I have at least four times a
day, and I know that he and his Dad have the same conversation several times on
the way to and from school as well. And, while it does get maybe just a little
bit annoying by the fourth go round, it is really important for him and totally
sweet.
I think about how much love he has seen in his four short
years of life. Love from his parents and brother and sister, love from his
Lilly-doggie, love from his grandparents, love from relatives near and far,
love from our friends and his friends, love from his doctors, love from his
therapists, love from his teachers, and love from total strangers who may not
even know him but have heard his story. He is indeed surrounded by love, and it
is exactly what he needs. He needs it to know that people truly care about him,
his progress, and his accomplishments. He needs it to give him strength and
courage to succeed. And, he needs it most of all, because
he is a four-year-old who is sweet, sensitive, and innocent in a world that is
not.
I am very proud of my little boy for telling us how much he
loves us. So, today’s special thing about Evan is that his life is full of
love!
