sunshine, indeed

i've not been feeling the best lately. it seems that life has become one crisis after another, and i have not been dealing with any of them with any of my usual panache. i'm pretty much just a wreck 24/7 for like the past three weeks. so tonight, i was putting sam to bed. and we read a book and i said, let's say a prayer now. we just list off a bunch of things we're thankful for like spending another day together, chocolate milk, his blanket, etc. usually, saying his prayers makes me feel so much better, but my heart wasn't in it.

before i could even manage to begin his list of thankful prayers for him, he took out his pacifier and kissed me on the mouth and said, "no. sunshine." which means, "no mom, sing you are my sunshine now." so i did. and i marvel at how two words can lift me from so low to so high.
