Na'night

In bed with my littles, it’s na’night time. I softly tell stories about fireflies, alligators and little boys on an adventure. I mutter the words …..”the end” and hear two deep and grateful sighs. Our dog & cat jump into bed and quickly fall asleep – as if they are attracted to the energy coming from our family. I smile and wonder if there could be any better feeling in this world. My heart feels full and my breath goes deeper – connecting with the rhythm of the sweet boys beside me. I imagine our hearts beating together would make a beautiful lullaby. Then their breathing changes and I know they’re asleep. I wonder how I ever make it out of bed – and sometimes I don’t.
