Here I am...

When I walked in to get West from his nap he was crying.
"What's up buddy, how come you're so sad?"
(as a side note, he usually wakes up really happy and ready to play)
"I just want my mama."
"Well, look, here I am!"

He jumped up, ran into my arms, and gave me the biggest, clingy hug.
I loved every second of it.

Isn't it crazy how the teeny-tiniest little thing can totally make your day?

I've been thinking lately about how I can make other people's days.
What can I do to make someone smile, to make their day brighter, and to make their load lighter?
I feel like I have been the recipient of a lot of love lately.
Love from my husband, from my kiddos, from my neighbors, from my sisters & sisters-in-law, from my mom.

I think this is all love from my Heavenly Father.

Through all of these wonderful, amazing people he is telling me
"Well, look, here I am!"
And he's waiting for my hug.
