one hundred days



"avagirl, I love you... sooo much."

"a lot?"

"yup. a whole lot."

"like for... ONE HUNDRED DAYS?"

in my mind, I started to answer her. I was trying to think of a way to explain that my love for her was beyond one hundred days, one hundred weeks, one hundred years, that it was beyond the moon and the stars and all reasonable limitations. but right now, in the world of kindergarten and counting, one hundred days represents all those things to her.

"yes, ava. I love you for one hundred days."

    beautiful! Luxie's favorite phrase like that right now is "too much." "I missed you too much" "I love you too much." There little minds are so innocent and it makes me smile every time.

    Oh, that girl of ours. I love her for 100 days, too. It was so fullfilling to see her along with you and Ezra at the airport today! I'm so happy to be home, and this post puts it all into perspective for me.

    What a dear, sweet girl.
