Before bed last night, I brought Jonas close to me and told him "I'm never going to leave you, okay? I will either be right next to you or in your heart." He took it to heart. I don't know why I felt like I needed to say it but I needed him to hear it. I tell him a lot of times throughout the day that I love him and he just says it out of nowhere to me too. I love that. It seriously is the best thing ever and it always makes those hard days so much easier.
We were sitting on the couch tonight watching TV and he rolled off the couch and came up to me and got face to face with me and looked me in the eye and said "Daddy, I am never going to leave you. Neither is Mommy." I looked over at Rebecca and she had a "AW! How sweet" look on her face. I gave him a huge hug and told him I would never leave him. Pretty awesome stuff.
It's incredibly reassuring, even as a kid, to know that someone is always going to have your back and is always going to be there for you. Try it...
