my heart melted

Phil had to "dispose of" several of our goldfish this evening. We have only one left. We're just not pet people I guess.

Caleb was crushed. He ran downstairs to find me, tears and all, and could barely get his words out.

"Mommy, the fish are gone. They'll miss my birthday."

We sat down on the steps together and talked for a bit. It was such a sweet moment...Mommy and precious boy in his Super Man cape jammies. I love that my little super hero needs to sit on Mommy's lap from time to time for a good snuggle.

Grampa says "It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" Actually he's quoting someone famous...But you knew that.

They must have heard that a lot growing up, because my dad says that too!
