The Sweetest Sound

It’s been a rather somber day. But, as I sit hear and contemplate the tragic events of this morning, I am pleasantly distracted. Inch and TR are both in bed and DH and I are downstairs doing the internet/TV/basement things that we do. The monitor is on and I hear Inch singing her ABC’s, conversing with her baby doll, giggling. TR occasionally hollers at her to hush. These are my favorite sounds in the whole world. Though barely audible, they are just loud enough to temporarily drown out the sound of my own thoughts and make it possible to actually say: Thank you, Lord, for this day.
