The Best Part of my Day

To do lists and deadlines clutter the path in my life all too often. It's so easy to lose sight of the little things that make our days beautiful. I was reminded of this just yesterday. At the end of a busy day, my phone rang. Before I even got a chance to say hello I heard noise on the other end. Singing. 2 year old Michael was calling from Brooklyn and he was singing my song. I listened with a bittersweet tug in my heart as he sang 'You Are My Sunshine'. That's my song! One I loved when I was a child and here's this sweet little voice singing it to me...and he's so far away. I know, Brooklyn isn't that far, but when you miss someone, it feels like a million miles between us. Little Michael sang the whole song (along with mommy's help). The moments when joy just lands in our lap (or appears on the other end of the telephone) they are what make magic of our days.

Here's the little man all the way from Brooklyn via mommy's cell phone camera. I miss that little guy!
