How sweet it is...

To be loved by a kindergartener. This morning a little girl was working in my office - not in trouble, just needing a place to concentrate - and I helped her learn to spell a few words. There's not many things better than seeing the light bulb turn on in a kid's head. She was more gracious than most adults, thanking me after each word I helped spell. When she said she was leaving I asked if she was really going to leave me all by myself in my office. She responded: "Well...I could give you a hug?"
