A 4 Letter Word

Recently I participated in a little contest. To win we had to write about what we "LOVE". It could be funny, creative, but not a novel. Technically they just wanted it to be honest. This is what I came up with.


What do I love?

This is a hard question to ask. Especially for someone who has been as blessed as I am. The list would be long but most likely would miss someone, somewhere to whom I am indebted for their kindness and friendship. But mainly the list would be filled with people. Not things. It is the people in my life, my family, friends, neighbors, strangers, to whom make life filled with happiness.

In all honesty if I had to name the one thing at the top of the list it would be my kids. The creations made by my dear husband and I, our family. But of course, I couldn't pick just one child or specifically say what it is about each one that makes me love them. Really it's the little things. Like this picture shows. It's things like this little freckle that appeared at 6 months on my baby daughters hand, in the strangest place. I love those secret, odd, personality quirks that define each one of my children and make up who they uniquely are. Things that only a mom would know.

That is what, I love.
