cherished moments

this was my status on facebook the other day.  

thought i'd share it with you all 

(again, for fb friends)

Part 1:

the little girl and her mom were about to say prayers before bed. 

the little girl looked at mom, "you still love me even when i hurt my knee." 

(the little girl had fallen and hurt her knee earlier that evening) 

mommy smiled at her as she put her arm around her. 

leaning to whisper to her little girl, "mommy loves you even when you get mad at me." 

little girl smiled her huge, joyful, smile... 

then started to giggle for reasons only the little girl knew.

Part 2:

the boy came out of his room to see what mom was doing. 

She told him he needed to go to bed. 

he said that he wished that there was no night so that he could stay out here and only need to take long naps.
"when you get older you'll be allowed to stay up later." said mom
the smile formed on the boy's face "will i still be with you when i'm allowed to stay up?"
mom nodded, "yep. you'll still be with me. but you may not want to be with me." 

confusion crossed the boy's face.
"why not?"
mom looked into his beautiful blue eyes, and told him, 

"some kids don't want to be with their parents when they get older."
the boy smiled at his mom, his eyes shining, "i'll want to be with you."
the mom's heart warmed as he continued "i'll always want to be with you."
wow, mom adores her little boy so much.
