Innocent Love

I had a date yesterday!!!

Well ok it was a date with a 4 year old names Thomas. Hey but it was date or shall I say play date. Thomas is the boy in a set of triplets and for some reason likes me. I have taken him to a couple of Vernon hockey games and for that he never lets his parents forget, every time they drive by or are near the Multiplex Thomas announces that is where 'Jan and I went to hockey!'.

We played for a few hours with various toys as no small child stays at one activity very long. I had lunch with the family and Thomas made sure I sat beside him at the table.....I felt honoured. When it was time to go Thomas took my hand as we left his bedroom (we did clean up the toys) and Thomas said, "Jan I need to give you a hug, give you a kiss and tell you I love you. And the secret handshake."

As I stood at the door ready to go I picked up Thomas and got the biggest bear hug that a 4 year old could give.....the wettest kiss a 4 year old gives and the sweetest words a 4 year old can say....I Love You. Then of course we had our secret handshake!

I walked out their door with the biggest smile on my face with the knowledge that I made a difference in his life and little does Thomas know what a difference he as made in my life!

Thanks Thomas! And I love you!
