To remember:

About a week ago, when the little man was battling a virus, I was headed out to the grocery store one evening... Mommy had come over to see him after work and I had the opportunity to run out... so I did. I had coat, gloves, shoes on and stepped downstairs to say goodbye and ask the perennial 'before the grocery store question' "Is there anything you need?" (to which he usually replies, after a thought, cucumbers...watermelon... green grapes... pickles...)

That day, I asked "Shall I get you anything special... is there anything you need?" and he looked at me and said "Yes. You".

ME! He said he needed ME.

I love you little boy. That's the first time you've ever said anything like that before. It made my heart melt.
