"That's what it is all about"

My week of playing stay at home mom has come to an end. Spring break is over and tomorrow it is back to work. I wish I had some wonderful story involving the beach, a sunburn, or something else equally interesting, but I don’t. No, I will go back to work tomorrow the same pasty white color I was when I left! I did however have a wonderful week with my kids. We were busy, yet at the same time it doesn’t seem like we accomplished much.

Friday the kids and I picked up my grandfather and took him to lunch. Titan picked the place, yes it was McDonald’s. While in line ordering I sat Liddy down, in her car seat. An older man asked if he could “take a look at her.” “Sure”, I said. Liddy gazed up at him flashing her very cute grin. As I looked back at the man, he had tears in his eyes. “That’s what it is all about,” he said. Now, with tears in my eyes, I said nothing, afraid if I did the tears may cut lose. He walked off and I couldn’t help but agree with him. That, my baby girl and her beautiful smile, is what it is all about.
