Hailey's "I LOVE YOU"
One day, while picking Hailey up from school, Hailey wouldn't get in the car. She kept giving me the "one second" signal. She appeared to be wandering aimlessly in circles. I couldn't figure out why whatever she was doing needed to continue, and why she wouldn't just get in the car. I almost told her to stop doing her aimless wander when I realized what she was doing. There--at the middle school, in front of her peers--Hailey was writing me a message in the snow. She was so proud as she finished her foot art of "I love you", and I was grateful I let her take the time to create it. Sometimes I am so busy rushing that I miss the moments. I hope I can pause more often to allow moments like these to continue in our lives.
