Peaceful Day

Desiree LOVES to spend time with Brandon. Whenever he is in his room, she will politely ask if she can come in too. While he is reading, writing a story, or listening to music, she will quietly sit and play with his cars or Legos. She doesn't ask him to join her. She is content simply to be in the room with him. As a mom it blesses my heart to see them enjoying each others company. Especially since at the ages of 4 and 14 they don't have very much in common. One afternoon this lasted for 3 blissful hours. No arguing. No yelling. No crying. They are in Brandon's room right now. He is writing a story on his computer and Desiree is playing house with some of his cars. "The big ones are the parents and the little ones are the babies," she tells me. I love these quiet, peaceful days when they are showing love to each other because I know that all too soon these days will be gone. Brandon is 14. In just a few short years he will be all grown up and leaving home. I hope Desiree makes lots of memories of these calm, peaceful days and always remembers the love they have for each other. Blessings, Melissa
