Thankful for Compassion

Not long ago, I was a little distressed about something. My sweet two year old could sense my sadness.  She came over and put her little hand on my arm and said, "Don't worry, Mama, I'll hold you, I'll keep you, forever and ever."

I smiled at her, and said, "Thank you sweetheart, but mamma will take care of you! I'll keep you!"

She was shocked by this revelation, and exclaimed in her highest pitch voice, "Oh!" And then added,   "Thank you mama."
