All You Need

I swear, I don’t know where the kid gets it.



This kid, Logan, our son, seems to be more in tune with the emotional world than many adults that I have encountered.


We were eating lunch, and it happened to be surprisingly cold in the restaurant. I was perfectly fine with it because the heat index was hovering around 100 degrees, but Logan is smaller and more easily affected by drastic changes in temperature.


“Brrr…It’s cold in here!” he said between bites of his food.


“Mommy, give me a hug to warm me up.”


And why would my hug warm him up?


Because...


“Your heart is warm, your love is warm, and my family is warm!”


Oh. My. Earthygoodness.


Yeah, I hugged him. Very tightly, and I didn’t let go.


That is, until, Logan started to struggle a bit.


“Umm mommy? I am having a hard time here,” he gasped.


“Why?” I asked, surprised.


“Because I can’t breathe, and humans need air,” was his reply.


I laughed, released him from my hug-o-oxygen depletion, and let him finish his lunch.


Lunch, air and love. What else could a human really need?
