Tuba's favorite Christmas gift is a battery operated candle. It has LED lights that flicker so it looks real. It is even made of wax and smells like vanilla. He LOVES it and wants to take it everywhere we go. Here he is in bed sleeping with it...just before I pry his hand off of it and turn it off for the night. So sweet.
Okay, you made me cry. How wonderful that a child can not only be loved, but can take that symbol of love, hope, and safety, to bed everynight. No wonder Tuba wants to carry it around with him. As for all your other "babies" who are also loved, safe, and taken care of: lucky them and luck us to see them.
ReplyDeleteI saw him with the candle at church on Sunday and it made me shiver. Such a simple thing for us, but a major for Tuba who has the "real light" in his soul and heart. He's such a beautiful child. Gramma Sue said it so well.
