"I love you," he said as I hugged him good night. "I really love you," he repeated, pulling me in tighter. As we lay there, he said, "Thank you for letting me go on the trip tomorrow." [pause] "Thank you for everything."
"I don't thank you enough."
I closed my eyes, breathing it in, and rested my heart there a moment.
He's 14.
Love him.

"Good night, Jared" she called from her room.
"Good night, Emma."
"I love you," she added.
"I love you, too."
[sigh]
Love them.

No family is perfect. No parents expert. No children model.
But there is love.
