One of my favorite things

A few years ago, as I was tucking Jessica into bed, she kissed me on both cheeks and said, “I love you and think you are beautiful.”

I have no idea why she thought I needed to hear those two sentiments at once, but I am glad she did, because it has become my favorite saying.

We all need someone who loves us and thinks we are beautiful.
