Amelia's Broken Heart

Last night Amelia found a paper heart left over from our Valentine's craft. It was torn in one spot.

"Oh no! My heart is broken!" she wailed.


Jeff and I exchanged a smile at her innocent words, knowing that someday her heartbreak would be real.

Then she turned to her Daddy and said, "Daddy, can you fix my broken heart?"

And my heart melted.

Daddy got out the tape and repaired the heart.

When he handed it back to her, Amelia threw her arms around his legs and said, "Thank you for fixing my broken heart, Daddy."

Someday we'll wish we could do that so easily with just a little tape.
