I’ve been wearing Mary’s Miraculous Medal as we prepare for the birth of our third child. Yesterday Madeline noticed my necklace was twisted and used her tiny fingers to bring the chain back around so that the medal would no longer fall at the back of my neck.
While Madeline gently repositioned the medal, she said, “Here, Mommy. Let me fix your necklace so that Mary will be watching over the baby and not your neck.”
Her words made me chuckle of course, but her sensitivity also tugged at my heart. As a mom, I’m supposed to be the one protecting my children. Yet, sometimes it seems our roles reverse, and they’re the ones looking out for me.
That has to be one of the sweetest things I’ve heard……so ADORABLE.
Kids are amazing, are they not? Praying for you!
Way to make me get a little tear in my eye! :) So sweet!
You know that’s a whole lot sweeter than my little guy asking me not to fall asleep while I played legos with him because I am “the best builder in town”.
Do you have a Pieta book to tuck in your bedside at the hospital? I love the little line in there about protecting mothers in delivery.
I’ll keep checking in on you. ;)
