safe embrace....

a couple of days ago i was drying brooke's hair....it's usually a battle. sometimes she likes it okay and others she is aggressive. this day i was surprised by a simple gesture we take for granted as a "hug". as i dried her hair, she faced me put both arms around me connecting her hands on my back and held on. an unexpected embrace, a simple expression of love, a breath of fresh air, and a touch of God. At first, i must say i was alarmed thinking she was going to head butt me, however, she laid her head of my chest and though it seemed like we stood there forever w/the air hitting her head....it was a split second of God's love. safe....in His embrace.
