It was hard to choose one for today, but I am going to go with my sweet daughter. I picked her up from school and she was her usual cheery self. She chatted away as we drove home. When we pulled in the driveway I stopped the car for a moment. I explained to her that I had spent the afternoon cleaning the house. I told her that even though the place was far from spotless, that it would really make me feel good if she would tell me how clean the house looked. She just nodded and looked at me knowingly.
We trudged up the steps with her backpack and all the other stuff I seem to carry everywhere I go. At the top of the stairs, my sweet little angel opened her eyes super wide and gasped dramatically. She actually swooned, just a bit, onto the couch and said, “Oh Mommy, the house looks so CLEAN!”
Silly, I know. But boy did she make me feel special. I think when you need to feel supported, it’s not a bad idea to ask for it.
