Child Like

As the Mom of adult children, I cherish the times when the little child in them sneaks out. Last week I saw the 4 year old peak out when I told J on his birthday that dad was at the airport picking up Big Jon. The camera couldn't do the moment justice. I heard the 4 year old voice and saw the 4 year old face light up, and the adult eyes fill with tears as he said, my brothers coming?! Today J had surgery, the 4 year old returned in the recovery room, as he laid there shivering and I cleaned drool out of his grown man beard. These are moments although not caught on camera are forever caught in my mind.
