one of my friends from high school lost her father a couple of days ago, so i took Gee with me to go visit her. she wasn't there, but her mom was, and after she wrapped us both in a huge hug, Gee instantly reached for her and returned the huge hug. it was such a powerful moment that i almost began to cry, and my friend's mom did cry. i just patted her on the back and marveled at how my daughter, at 9 months old, knew exactly what kind of comfort this woman needed during this difficult time. the two were inseparable for the short time we were there; it didn't seem that she ever wanted to leave her new friend's arms when it was time to go! "you knew exactly what i needed" was what she told Gee before we left, and i was so happy that the small gesture of visiting with my baby girl could bring a sliver of sunshine to her day. the love of a little one can help heal the hurt...i've witnessed it first-hand, and it is absolutely amazing. :)
love -elle&gee-
PS: tomorrow (or the next day), i'll have my first 3 lists, plus my finished hairbow holder; can we say "super-cute" if i say so myself! oh, and please say a prayer for my friend, her mother, and their family, for comfort and strength in their time of need. thanks :)
