Today

Today my dear son, it doesn't matter that you won't take another nap. It doesn't matter that you didn't want to sleep last night, it doesn't matter that you won't let my friends, who you know well, hold you. It doesn't matter that you drooled all over my face and spit up all over my shirt. It doesn't matter that you ate my whole nectarine, the only one left. All that matters is that I love you. I love you with all I am. Today, I'll hug you just a little bit tighter. I'll kiss you more than you'll probably enjoy. I'll hold you just a little bit longer. And I'll love you more than you'll ever know.
