I just had the sweetest moment with my son. I was helping him put his socks on for school, and he spontaneously threw his arms around my neck and held on tight. "It's going to be hard to leave you someday, Mom."
"Yeah? Where are you going, Son?"
"Well, my kids are going to need me a lot. At the dinner table they will want me to sit and talk with them, and they will want me to build lots of Legos with them. Can we save all my Legos for my kids, Mom?"
"Sure! We'll keep all the best ones and they can play with them when they come over to visit my house. Then I can tell them, 'Grandma and your daddy used to play with these Legos when he was a little boy.'"
He hugged me tighter. "I'm going to miss you, Mom."
