We have been waiting for the conversation... praying that we handled it OK. As so often happens, when it finally came up a few days ago the it was noteworthy only in its normalcy.
Milo: (pointing to the TV) Hey look, that lady is dark like daddy!
Mark: Yep. She sure is buddy.
Milo: I am light like Mommy though.
We are on opposite sides of the coffee table and Mark and I both reach to the center with our hands. Milo puts his on top.
Mark: Actually bud, you are right in the middle. See?
Me: See honey, you are a little of me and a little of Daddy...
Milo: (looking down) That is right! I am a little light and a little dark and that is how God made me.
With that, our sweet boy looked up with a big smile on his face and then promptly focused back on the show. I was not so easily diverted though. With tears in my eyes and so much love in my heart, I thought how much more happiness there would be in the world if everyone could see with the eyes of a child...
