The Little One Got It All Right

The 4th seemed like it went by in a blur....a good blur, but a blur nonetheless.

Tonight at the park Jess, Jor, and I were walking back by the baseball fields with everyone else to watch the fireworks. I had a hot funnel cake for my aunt in one hand, and I was playing with Jor's hair with the other. She was asking me to sleep over, just like she does every time I come over. Even though my headache was better than it was in the morning, I just wanted to sleep in my own bed and told her so. She made her pouty face (that I will admit sometimes works), and I reminded her that I will not have a room here for much longer, so I will probably be sleeping over a lot more when I come home for Christmas.

Her pouty face got poutier, though, and she whined, "But that's so long from now."

I sighed. "Yes, yes it is."

I'm trying to enjoy every single bit of time left at home...because it will be a long time until I am back, and that's a tough reality no matter how many great things will come between now and then.
