Precious Moments

[Little kaiya]

My Daddy had surgery mid August, went really well, so He has been in recovery mode since. During His recovery there are, needless to say, things that He can't do right now. It got me thinking about what are the moments that we share together that are most precious to me. 

I realized it isn't planned out scenes or extended playtime. It's the small, subconscious moments. It's when He comes and kisses the top of my head. It's when He pats my bum as I walk by. It's a chuckle when He sees me do something cheeky. It's when He pats His lap so lay my head in it. Or the long suffering but patient sigh when He shoes up at my side with my meds and a glass of water because I forgot. Or the little touches that remind me He loves me whether I'm big or little, like this week when He plopped my tiara on my head and then said, "there's my Princess", as I giggled.

Certainly longer or playtimes have their own kind of fun but for me the spontaneous little gestures and moments are what let me constantly know that I am unconditionally accepted and lived by Him, what could be more precious.
