My cousin, Sean, who is a loving dad to two small children, sent me a profound email today:
I was putting Bethany to bed [last night] and asked if we could sing a song for Mother's Day. I was expecting to lead her in one of the Primary songs about moms. Instead she immediately began singing lyrics of her own design to a tune all her own. Most of it was "It's Mothers Day," repeated over and over again, but then one surprising line came out:
"Mother is like a flashlight in the dark."

Awh. Thanks for sharing this. I'm grateful for my mom and the way she has been a light for me.
Love it!
By the way. You are one of my flashlights in the dark.
Very sweet!
My battery runs down every once in awhile. I'm with c-dub, that's when you come and.......you know it's coming

light up my life! (no, really!)
elizabeth: Your post about your mom knocked my socks off. I hope she reads what you write—it was a perfect Mother's Day gift!
c-dub: Are you sure you don't mean flashers in the dark? That's more my speed(o).
b.: Garsh, you're making me blush!
Oh that is so cute... I love the creative things that kids can come up with and still have so much meaning behind them!
geo i wish we could have a nice long lunch with punch in tea cups and tulips at our feet! I totally think we could talk for hours and enjoy a warm summer breeze!
ew is that stalkerish enough for you? ;-)
christa: It seems right, doesn't it, that this piece of wisdom came from a Sunbeam?
liz: I'm not scared of you yet. You'll have to try a little harder. I think it would be GREAT to have an afternoon tea party with you! And I even have some new old cups and saucers to introduce, plus a matching teapot, sugar bowl, and creamer! You want to bring the chamomile?
Love this comment.
And it was very nice to meet you in person. :)
