Three Words that Warmed My Heart

Once I became a mom, I've experienced countless moments, although ordinary to others, that have truly warmed my heart, such as those involving Little Music Man and his speech.

He's been in speech therapy for almost two years now, and for a long time he would not speak on his own--he would only repeat things that we'd say.

Then one day, I sneezed.

And he said three words that were music to my ears...

"Bless You Mommy!"

That brought tears to my eyes!

Such a simple statement, yet it meant so much to me.

And that was just the beginning of his progress. He still has a lot to catch up on, but the progress he has made thus far is impressive, and it was such a special moment that I will never forget.

Do you have a special moment that sticks out in your mind?
