This has been a rough week.
Lucy Lu-Lu has been sick,
and when she gets sick.....she REALLY gets sick.
When she's down and out, I realize very quickly how much I miss
the fun and laughter she brings into every day.
And it makes me so sad.
Even when she's sick though, she teaches me and makes me a better person.
We had the following conversation:
"Mom, I love you so much."
"Oh, Lucy, I love you too!"
Lucy: "I love all the persons in this whole wide world."
Me: "I do too!"
Lucy: "Of course you do!"
A minute went by and I asked,
"Lucy, how do you have room in your heart for everyone in the whole wide world."
And then my sweet and wise Lucy Lu-Lu taught her mom.
She looked at me like she was surprised I didn't already know the answer.
Then in her sick, but suddenly strong voice, she said,
"MOM. Our hearts are STRETCHY. So we have room for EVERYONE!"
Oh, how I love the beauty and simple wisdom of children.
Oh, how I love my Lucy.
And I love her amazing stretchy heart.

Oh, that totally made me cry, what a wise young woman. This is so sweet. Thanks for sharing. She looks so awful. Poor little girl.
Stretchy heart....I must make sure I have one.
