I deal with grieving daily as a hospice nurse but today at the mall I witnessed a most pure and beautiful example. Missy n tuck (my year old grandchild) met up with me. We went to food court so I could have a very late lunch. Along with the main course of lasagna, bread and salad we agreed to share a piece a big piece of cheesecake. We offered tuck everything but he could not take his eyes off the cake (he had had good meal previously) no fooling him he wanted only cake. So missy fed him cake and kept on and on tuck was really into the cake. Finally I exerted my unquestioned authority and cut him off concerned he would get sick. He expressed an unhappy facial grimace. This is the cool part-he got quiet and really thought about it, processing the whole cheesecake dilemma. Then after that he broke out in wholehearted genuine tears. I could practically hear his thoughts I was so happy elated purely joyful eating cake, now the cake is gone and my heart feels so bummed out . Heres to fully living and being in the moment and to simple everyday blessings. Children know.
