Last night, my 7 year old son Nicholas turned to me and said, "Daddy, I can't miss mommy too much because she's right here!  And he pointed to his head.  I told him, baby boy, your heart is in your chest.  He said, "I know, but I've been having heartburn and thinking of Mommy makes it better!"


I have a lot to learn from my child.

How cute is he and what a sweetheart. You absolutely have a great gift with you. And yes we all have a lot to learn from our very own children.
