So, last night we were talking to Lucas about obedience and explained to him that God gave him a Mom and Dad to take care of him, teach him, and keep him safe.

I said "Wouldn't it be sad if you didn't have a mom and dad. What would you do?" I was waiting for the response that would melt a mom's heart. The moment when I could look at my oldest son and say "I've done well raising him" When his answer would stir emotions in me like never before.

Here's what I got.

Lucas said, "Yeah, like there wouldn't be anyone to blow up my floatie when I wanted to swim."

There you have it. Life without parents through the eyes of a 5 year old.
