Top 'o The Day...

About an hour later I heard a little, excited voice say, "We brought donuts!" I looked over and there down the hallway at the office was my little, happy, blonde, curly-haired Madeline with a box of Timbits in her hand. I had to fight back the tears—I could have started sobbing right then and there. Moments later Dixie rounded the corner holding Luke, wearing little shorts and a little fisherman’s hat.

My family was exactly who I needed at that moment, though I didn’t realize it until I saw them. I love them so much and it’s in my down-and-out moments that I realize it the most.
