One day this week I was working in the kitchen and it was one of those days that I just wanted to work quickly and alone, but you wanted to help. I was feeling impatient, but I mustered up as much endurance as I could to be patient and loving towards you. I think I was making us something to eat and when we sat down to eat, we talked. After few minutes, you said "I love you, mom." Aw, at that moment, I melted and was so thankful that I remained patient with you! I'm sure I smiled a happy relieved smile because then you got up out of your chair and gave me a big hug. You must have known. I love you so much, Bo! ♥
