The phone rings blinking Facetime, and I know who’s calling, but this time he greets me differently.
“How a doin?”
Leo, 27 months learns a new phrase almost daily. This one was his latest. He was so excited to say it.
“Hey, Leo. I’ve been sick.”
In the background, Maggie says, “Ma mère‘s tummy hurts.”
“Hold you, Ma mère!” Leo exclaims with a concerned expression that melts my heart.
“Oh, I wish I could hold you.”
“Tummy. Kiss it. Better.” He leans forward and kisses the screen.
Leo kisses make everything better.
Reflections on the Teche 
Such power in your grandson’s word and so perfectly captured. I hope you’re feeling better.

Now that is an image to go with a brand new, heartfelt line! Hold you, even if it is a virtual hold you is the best way to feel better…and I hope you do..soon

“Hold you, Ma mère!” Oh, that just melts my heart! I love the photo, too. Those soft curls and that sweet little neck. Awwwww…
Sweetness! You have the best medicine!
Adorable! Kisses do make it so much better!
Absolutely adorable. From the French to the kiss to Leo in general. Hope you’re feeling better and too funny that we both wrote around “kiss” today!
