“…by one!”
it’s been a whole week since my family headed out on a fabulous “almost 3 whole days and 2 sleeps!” at the annual campout with our gathering family…
i rested behind…my sweet honey insisting on trekking back and forth…once just to check in on me…and twice just to sleep next to me!
and our littlest little tagged along on those sleeping treks…so he could “catch his breath” from all of the fun!
but i was especially missing that little guy on saturday…thinking about how much fun he must’ve been having getting to play “outside”…
all…day…long!
and i was so hoping that one of his older siblings might just catch a few pictures of him…of all of them…having their fun…
so i just spent that day fiddling around ‘round here…with just this and that…
just trying to keep from thinking too much…
and at some point, i stopped and checked in on my messages…to see if their daddy had sent any new love notes to me…
and then to my email…and on to that facebook…
and there on my “wall” was this sweet little pic…sent from just one of the sweetest of friends…
just sitting on that wall waiting for me!
that little mr. mischief having himself so much fun!
and how could she have known that that was just what i’d wanted?
just what i’d needed…
at that very moment…on that very day!?!
and i’ve just been so overwhelmed…again and again…
that so many…so often…would seek to lessen this sting just a bit…simply by loving on us…
and that picture just made me smile…
and then just burst into tears…
the very same thing i seem to be doing a lot as of late…anytime anybody does something…or says something…
just anything kind!
something that just seems to keep happening again and again…and over and over…these days!
