This isn’t your typical Messy Monday post. This isn’t that mess under the bed or the one in his room or the nasty waiting to be emptied from the trash can.
This is the kind that can wreck a heart into a mess.
You see, there is a boy in our home who is 5 years old. He tried to draw his older brother, who is 8, a picture of Darth Vader, because his older brother is in love with Star Wars right now. Apparently it didn’t quite look like Darth Vader, or at least in the 5-year-old’s eyes. So he got really upset, because he really wanted to draw his oldest brother something special.
So our oldest boy wrote him the sweetest note an older brother can write to a younger.
I might not have even see this, except that my boys are really bad at putting things away. This time I’m glad. So beautiful. So messy. So wonderful to see the bond between a boy and his brother.
Heart effectively wrecked.
(They were fist-fighting about 20 minutes later, so sweet doesn’t last. You just take it while you can.)
