(no subject)
i'm back for all of you who care.
quick story
today i woke up to a 5 year old and a 6 year old singing to me while sitting on me. the song they were singing was how i was stinky in the morning or some such story. ugh, what i would have done to have just a few more hours of sleep. later on i become a human pillow to two fighting girls fighting over where they want to sit. i luckily escape to the confines of a long hot shower, completely enjoying the serenity. later on, i am drug all over central market with them on their "adventures" mostly trips to look at all the selections of candy that they like. after about an hour of this, their mother thankfully tells them to be nice to me, and i FINALLY get to go pee. the 45 minute ride back to kc's (their mother's) house, i am kicked, poked, and sang about the whole way, with no reinforcements. as my mom and i are FINALLY coming home, preparing for the upcoming 8 hour drive home, i fell a little girl on my leg, squeezing me hard. i then say goodbye and she looks up at me, her head under where my belt is, and says "i wished you lived here." suddenly it all becomes clear to me.
THAT is unconditional love. that is the truest form of love there is. there is no pressure to be tough, to be strong or be macho. all i have to do is be the pillow, the chair, the hand to hold.
these are my girls. GG is on top of me, and Liz is to my left.
i already miss them.
