Today was a sad day as I had to begin saying goodbye to someone who was like a big sister to me growing up. She and her sisters are part of some of my fondest memories from childhood. Today was harder to handle than I had anticipated. Thursday is when we have to officially lay her to rest and if tonight is anything to go by, it'll be pretty similar with regards to coping.
But, in trying to find the silver lining of my day I thought I would share this story from my afternoon. I was getting ready to leave the day home I was visiting and one of the little girls asked me, completely out of nowhere: "Why don't you have a baby?" To which I responded: "I don't have any babies of my own just yet." The day home provider tried to help me out and told the girl, "Miss Adrienne is still young to have babies." But another one piped up: "But maybe your baby is still in your tummy! I was in my mommy's tummy until she was ready for me."
Oh out of the mouths of babes. Figured I'd share that cute little story. It was the first time I'd been to this day home so it's not like the topic of my having children or not has come up before. Kids. Drive me crazy, but I love them.
