That’s No Secret

Eliana and I were holding hands as we walked through Kohl's Department Store tonight when I asked, "Can I tell you a secret"?

Eliana loves secrets. So she looked up at me somewhat wide-eyed with anticipation as she nodded her head and said, "Yeah".

Now I had hardly seen her all day long. I had been at church for 10-1/2 of the last 12 hours and she was staying at Gran'mommy's during the time I happened to be at home. So I leaned down and whispered, "I love you"!

I wish you could have seen the expression on her face when she looked up at me again. Sporting a huge grin that reminded me of the cheshire cat in Alice In Wonderland, my daughter replied matter-of-factly, "Awwwww...that's no secret!".

What A Sweetie

Eliana came and crawled in bed with us this morning.

I was still asleep when she first came in but at some point she woke me up with a soft pat on the shoulder. When I roused, she leaned over and in her soft, little voice asked, "Dad, do you want me to scratch your back"?

What a sweetie...and what a good start to the day...
