balm for my soul

Friday,

Lexi climbed into my lap while I was folding laundry

and slipped one arm around my neck.

(weird that I was sitting and folding; I usually stand....)

"Momma," she said, "I can't wait to have kids."

"Why is that?" 

I asked.

"Because, I know how much you love me," 

she replied,

"and how much you do for me,

and how much I've learned from you,

and I just think it will be really nice to get to do that for kids of my own."

Ah, Baby Girl.

I do love you!
