children are perceptive

Raea: Mom, can I go to a friend's?
Me: I guess.
Raea sits down next to me, hugs me, and then rubs my back.
Raea: Is everything ok?
Puzzled.
Me: I guess.
Raea: I have known you for eight years. You only say "I guess" if you are sad or tired.

I love Raea and her caring soul. I am so blessed to have her in my life.

Grant does come home tomorrow.
