We were standing in the middle of a deep green forest holding hands, surrounded by Groovy Doug Firs & Swoopy Cedars.
In those four little words, I heard
Thanks for waking up with me, Mom.
Thanks for playing Thomas the Train match cards with me.
Thanks, Mom, for playing legos and pouring my milk and cheerios.
In those four little words, I heard
I'm glad it's warm and sunny today, Mom.
I love getting into nature and listening to the birds and rushing river sounds.
It's fun to run and throw rocks into the Puget Sound.
In those four little words, I heard
I always love you, Mom.
Even when you don't play with me that much.
Even when you have to work.
Even when we stay inside because it's raining and cold.
"Mom, I love you," he said and looked up at me with a smile.
We were standing on the edge of the cold Puget Sound with snow capped mountains straight ahead and the moss covered forest just behind us.
