February 28

I haven't felt especially loved lately. It's probably a glitch in my own perception of reality, but it is what it is. It affects me whether I want it to or not. That's why this was such a nice thing to see when I logged in to play a game this afternoon.

A series of little love notes from Abby. She's not historically been the most affectionate of my kids; Logan was always my love bug, telling me he loved me multiple times a day and offering up scores of hugs and kisses. I miss it.

But I'm so grateful for the unexpected expressions from my girl. And for the not subtle reminder that despite my fears and insecurities, I am loved.
