sharing from my heart to yours
A few days or so before Skyler died, he told me he loved me. It was one of those random things... I was making supper and he came in the kitchen and gave me a big hug and said "I love you, Mommy!" He told me he loved me once in awhile, and we always said it to each other every night before bed, but he wasn't the type of kid who told me real often on his own. I'll always treasure that last time. One of the things that Skyler and I used to do was play the 'I love you game'. We would go back and forth and try to 'out-do' each other in how big our love was. For example: "I love you as high as the ceiling!" "I love you as big as the house!" "I love you as tall as the trees!" And so on. I don't recall who said it first, (I want to say Skyler, but I can't remember for sure) but eventually, the ultimate was always: "I love you as high as Heaven!" I still love you, Skyler.
As high as Heaven. I always will. Even through missing you, I still will love you. I'm so thankful you knew that. And I'm thankful to know that you love me... even "as high as Heaven, Mommy!" I'm so blessed by all these little things, that have become big things in the end!
