I hung out (babysat) with Rebekka tonight. She’s the 3year old daughter of my friends, Brian and Annette. I’ve had a lot going on in my head lately, including tonight.

but as Rebekka and I were playing with her toys and watching tv, she was sitting with me, leaning her head on my arm, and snuggling up next to me when she stated:

‘I love you lauree’ then she hugged me and said ‘big hugs’

at the end of the day and in the grand scheme of things, isn’t that all we need?!

from the minds and mouths and arms of three year old children can sometimes come the most simplified and profound needs of every single human being….
