Just Checking

~

So I'm back from my repose.

I am not better, but I am back.

One step at a time.

One hug at a time.

One prayer at a time.

One snuggle at a time.

As Captain Jake Sparrow and I are were nestled on the couch last night, me in my kerchief, he with his brand new buzz-cut, I noticed that one of the Captain's hands had gone beneath my shirt.

"Captain? Whacha looking for?"

Sparrow: "Your boobie."

"Captain? Why are you looking for that?"

Sparrow: "Cuz, I was just checking to make sure you still had yours. I was just checking, Mom."

Again, his father is unabashedly proud.
