 French la Vie 
I hadn’t seen Gabriel (7) for about five days, and before that I had only seen him briefly. It felt like an eternity, even though it really wasn’t.
The moment I saw him, I wrapped him in a big hug, held his sweet face in my hands, and said, “I missed you so much. I thought about you all the time.”
With complete sincerity, he looked back at me and said, “Oh, Vavi, I love you. I thought about you too. But not all the time—I had other things to think about: school, the cats, reading, and my own thoughts. But I did think about you.”
It was a sweetly honest response. Children have a way of telling the truth so simply, and it makes their love go straight to the heart.
