The Reward

There are many times in your adult life that your little ones can literally make you speechless and overwhelmed with pride and complete joy. The other day Nyla came home from school with a report of having a FABULOUS day. Since we reward good behavior, we asked her what she would like as her reward or treat. The next sentence that spilled out of my beautiful peanuts mouth brought tears to my eyes warmed my heart.

"I want to sleep with you tonight mom - I want that as my reward"

The smallest thing is by far the largest reward.

"I" was the reward - ME - MOM!

We snuggled in bed that night and as she drifted off to dreamland I watched peace and comfort come across a face of an angel.
