I want to take a picture of myself right now but you wouldn’t be able to see it. If you could, you’d see Dempsey and I holding hands while she falls asleep. I’m using her big bear as a pillow while she lays on her special unicorn pillow that Aunt Laurel made her. She asked if I’d lay with her while she falls asleep tonight. Some nights I’m just not interested, I want to be alone and do whatever the heck I want for an hour before I pass out and do the next day. Tonight is not one of those nights. At school today my friend and I were talking about kids and how they grow up so fast. And how pretty soon our own kids will be the middle school kids that we deal with each day. She made the comment about how Dempsey will be complaining of cramps and listing that as the reason she won’t go to class (a real life story from today @ work). I playfully hit her and told her to not speak of Dempsey getting her period, because OHEMGEEEE.
Fast forward to tonight and I thought about this conversation when Demps asked me to lay with her. This will totally be over in a few years. A few short summers. A few blinks of the eye and Dempsey and I will in the midst of teenage land. Within minutes of me laying down and holding her hand she was out. When I allow myself to think about this, that she just needed a safe person to lay with her and she could instantly fall asleep...well it was totally worth my time.
