This past weekend Asher and I went to a play at the Children's Theatre, just the two of us - a mom and son date. That in itself was such a gift. But to top it off, I just loved that as we walked around, he still reached for my hand to hold. That used to be something I took for granted when he was younger, but at 10, I am so much more aware of these moments.
I can think of the other times he's held my hand in the past month - at the grocery store, leaving church, walking to his basketball games. Each time he grabs my hand, it is such a delight. I'm not sure when he'll decide that he's too old to do so, especially in front of friends. For now, I'm treasuring this affection and keeping in mind that it could easily come to an abrupt end!
