Some evenings, after a long day with our 4 year old son Bodhi, I long for him to just fall asleep so I can do the same. But those few moments between wrestling in our home-made pillow fort and dreamland give way to some precious conversations. Tonight, just before he drifted off, Bodhi said..."Mommy, roller coasters are sooooo long. Longer than the planet. I love you as much as a roller coaster."
Me: "Really, that's awesome Bodhi".
Bodhi: "Yah, I like you too."
Me: "What's the difference between like and love"?
Bodhi: "Love is specialer. Good night mommy."

WOW! This is powerful. You have inspired smells, sounds, tastes and feelings through your writing.....goals which any writer strives for. Thank you for reminding me how lucky I am to live and have a livestyle which affords me so many things I take for granted.
Great job!!
