London Eli Scout

Sidekick

imageLondon and I were sitting side by side on the sofa.

“Momma. With Riley married now I’m the oldest. I like being the oldest,” she announced to me.

“You are. And I love that for you. But I don’t want you to think you have to be a grown up yet. I want you to still be the eleven year old girl you are.”

She smiled. (That kid is so pretty in her smile.)  “I know, Mom. I want to be a little girl still.”  She reached for my hand. “But I just like being your sidekick.”

Be still my heart. 

I will take that title any day.
