Awesome

It's raining, and the girls are inside make crafts at the dining room table. I ways praising Lizza's very advanced use of tape. And Kenna was barking in the background -- LOOK AT MINE. I gave it a glance and praised, WOW, KENNA YOURS IS AWEOME! I walked out of the room and into the kitchen. I heard a little voice echo quietly to herself -- "Mine is awesome." My heart dropped. Sometimes I forget the influence I have. All day I have to repeat myself all day. I start to think no one listens and no one cares. But they really do hear us, and they care more than we could ever truly understand.

Yours is always awesome, McKenna, always. Don't ever let me forget to tell you.
