What brings a tear of joy to your eye?

A few things:
He said “I lub you mommy” and he goes to kiss my lips.
I briefly worried about his ability to speak at twenty-months but there he was ensuring me he had no problems speaking rather he chooses not to sometimes. What an interesting kid I think to myself.
My seven year old is having a ball with life. He’s excelling in school, and has joined an activity he loves (jujitsu) . It’s warm out and he’s outside running, jumping, climbing trees, playing in the mud and he couldn’t be any happier. His dad is his best friend and he has a mama that’s deeply invested in his journey. He’s a happy kid and that makes my heart smile.
I sometimes cross paths with my favorite kind of people and they’re the people who are thriving in their authenticity. I can sense it in their energy and it’s so beautiful.
