How To Make Your Mommy Cry

This is Amy writing.

The other night, as I was putting PJs on Declan he said, "Mama, don't leave Declan."

I, of course, just thought he meant, "Hey lady don't leave me up on this changing table" so I quickly said, "I won't, son.”

Then he smiled at me and said, "You came back from the library."

I realized he was glad I hadn't left him earlier in the day when I hopped out of the car, leaving the kids in the back while I ran the 30 feet to return some books in the drop box at the library.

I told him I'd be right back, but maybe he worried?

So I got a bit choked up and croaked out something along the lines of, “Mommy loves you and will never, ever leave you.”

He smiled sweetly and said, "That's a good choice Mommy."
