sweet esme' rose, revisited!

this post was originally published last january. it may have been the last time esme' climbed into our bed in the small hours of the morning. she doesn't do it anymore- ever. i am so grateful that i blogged about it and found it this morning. i needed this sweet memory today!
be sure to stop by for a visit tomorrow morning- i have a fabulous giveaway planned for you!


i was awoken by the hall light shining on my face as she slowly pushed open our bedroom door. the clock said 4:30. and then she was standing next to me. "i had a bad dream, i am scared." i pulled the covers back inviting her in. she climbed into the bed and snuggled next to me. nearly five minutes went by and i was just drifting back into sleep when she whispered "i put socks on so my toenails wouldn't tickle you, mama."
no, my heart was tickled with love instead!
