It was this afternoon, while making something to eat for my youngest son and I.
I was sharing a very real concern with my son that will affect the two of us and out nowhere, he told me not to worry - that he'd take care of it, if push came to shove. Which, of course, then he followed up with telling me something that touched my heart so deeply. He realises how incredibly hard it's been on me over the years, being the sole provider of our little family and that while, proverbially, his hands are tied at the moment, he says to me that everything will be okay. Then he hugged me.
And then, my tears fell.
