The littlest things can be all it takes to make your day. On a day like yesterday, when I was feeling tired, stressed and on the verge of a cold, Bapa knew that I needed a perk.
There are just some moments when I am forced to slow down and smile, appreciate the simplest things in life.
Here's how our conversation went:
Bapa: How are you today?
Me: Uhh...actually not so good. I'm feeling a little sick.
Bapa: Oh, you are! That's not good!
Me: Yeah... I just want to crawl into bed and fall asleep...but still have stuff I have to do for school. Ugh...
Bapa: Well, I'll cheer you up. *Smile*
Me: Ok... maybe it'll help... What could he possibly do?
In about 20 minutes I hear Bapa coming up the stairs.
"I've got something for you!" he says.
And then...
Bapa walked down to the little stream by our house and picked me a bouquet of buttercups! Is that sweet, or what?! That definitely was not was I expected...it was so much better! Just what I needed. Thank you Bapa!!
