Today marks an anniversary. This is the first time I've EVER seen something where the words are more powerful than the pictures. Listening to the words, I can't help but see my little one talking and it's very hard not to tear up. Timely cause I have two little ones, one who just started kindergarten, learning to swim on their own, eating their dinners, who I love to tickle and who I always kiss good night. Heart breaking cause I couldn't imagine being without them!
Important to watch to help remind me/you/us what's important in life, to be there for ours for as long as we can.

Some lines that hit me especially hard.
...even though I don't like carrots.
i started kindergarten this year
can you see me? (this is about where I nearly lost it, her tone is so innocent)
tickle my belly, my belly hurts
I try not to cry, mommy says it's ok, I know you don't like it when I cry
is it true you're not coming home, maybe someday, I can visit you in heaven, ok?
it's time for me to go bed now, i sleep with the light on
...just in case you come home and kiss me good night.
To this family who created these words, my sincerest sympathies. To my girls, I love you so much, more than any words can say! Beau rêve mon amour.
