Tonight I am struggling with some personal thoughts and decisions. I typically try to be careful about what I say in front of little man. However, tonight I was talking to my husband and told him that I want to just "climb into a hole" but that I knew that hiding from things is not healthy.
Some time later I was still feeling weighed down, I still am but I know that I will be brought to the answers. I really just need some time to pray on things. Apparently it is obvious that I am feeling some burden because my sweet sweet little man just came up to me and said...
"Mommy, I love you very much...even though you want to climb in a bowl."
He wrapped his little arms around me and squeezed. Time stood still for a second so I could see that he was trying to take away my pains. I debated on correcting him but decided that bowl & hole are close enough and while his words may have not quite been there - his heart, as always, was in just the right place.
How humbling.
This is so precious. You have a compassionate little man there. I hope you're feeling better.... I have many times wanted to climb in a "bowl" myself. I know that hug helped :)
