Being There

Journal entry from 2013

It was touching last night to see daughter Michelle laying in bed with my youngest son Casey watching a National Geographic program on sharks. They were cuddled up in bed and Casey what was beaming with satisfaction.

I lay down next to him for a bit; and when I got up to go, Casey looked at Michelle like, “Are you leaving too?” and Michelle said “No I want to lay here with you” and he nestled in happy. He just wanted to be present. Sometimes the best way to love someone is to Be There —I’ve no where to go,  I don’t want to go, this is exactly where I want to be: with you.
