Something sad but super sweet

I just had to share a moment of revelation for Paisley.

Yesterday Derek told me he was coming home last night. So, of course, I told Paisley that daddy was coming home. She gets all excited! Well, at the last minute last night Derek called and sounded ticked off. Ends up he wasn't going to get to home. I told Paisley that Daddy wasn't going to come home and she was ok with it.

Then, as I was getting her ready for bed, my mom left our house to go home and Paisley heard the door shut. She immediately perked up and said "DADDY!!!!" "DADDY???" I said "No baby, I'm sorry, Daddy's not coming home tonight." I went to start her prayers and she burst into tears and through her tears she said "Daddy...daddy...*sniff*....daddy...." It broke my heart. We cuddled and prayed and she went to bed tear-free.

I hate the fact that this is our life right now. But I know it's necessary for whatever God is wanting to achieve in and through us. And above all, I am SO EXTREMELY thankful for Derek's job. It provides for me to stay home with Pais and that is super important to us. Thank you, Jesus, for your blessings even though they may be hard to receive sometimes. I love you!
