grab a tissue.....

About 10 minutes ago, as we were playing on the floor in the living room.......

Hayden: Mommy, do you love me?

Me: Of course I love you! Always. Even when I am mad at you, I love you. No matter what, I love you.

Hayden: I love you too mommy.

Me: (......pile of mush.....tears welling in my eyes.....) Why would you ask me that?

Hayden: (No answer.)

I have no idea where that came from. I only hope he understands me, and absolutely believes me when I say that I love him forever and ever and always. No matter what.
