Last night. Nathaniel and I were unexpectedly given tickets to go to a formal dance and when my son saw me walk by in a dress with my hair done up he made this funny 'o' face and started clapping.
It was meant in the context that I'm brave and a non-complainer when faced with a very difficult situation. If you knew what a softie I am and extremely emotional, then you'd understand why this was such a big deal for me.
"You were the one I wanted. Not the one I needed." and
"You are the mom she needs. Not the one she wants."
