Spirited child

It was always a joke when Sammers was even a tiny baby that he was the "spirited" child. He still is. anyone that has read any of my entries knows that. However, sometimes I feel Noah gets gipped.

Noah is my true "spirited" child. When he was a baby he would stare into a corner of the room and talk and sing [to angels]. He had such a .... presence.... that you could look so deep into his eyes- it was amazing. Mike and I talked about it a lot.

In the last few years, we have seen him develop into such a LOVING child. His heart is huge. He is a truly kind and caring person. The kind of person that is born that way,....

Today he and I were alone in a room. He said "we sure visited Pappy in the nursing home a lot"

I said we sure did.

"why"

well, we missed pappy and went to visit him. do you remember that?

"yeah, I liked visiting pappy"

yeah, I did too Noah. I wish I could hug him right now. and I started to cry a little. the kind of cry that is a lot of tears, not a lot of sound.

Noah said "It's ok to cry when you miss someone"

I said yes it is buddy and gave him a hug. After a few moments he pulled away and looked right inside me and said "when you miss Pappy and want to give him a hug, you can give me one instead."

unbelievable. I am so lucky to have my spirited children.
