in the eye of the beholder

to the untrained eye, this might not look like much.  but to me, it melts my heart.

let me tell you about it.

tuesday at school, camryn was playing outside and picking weeds flowers.

she ran to her teacher, mrs. dana, and asked for her empty water bottle.

camryn:  mrs. dana, i need that bottle.

mrs. dana:  what for, camryn?

camryn:  i need to put these flowers in it.  and i need some water.

mrs. dana:  okay, camryn.  but what are they for?

camryn:  they're for my mommy.  i'm going to save 'em and give 'em to my mommy.

so you see, they are a beautiful bouquet.  not weeds.

sweet girl, you just made my week.  i love you, camryn!
