Finding your Love

This is an exact conversation I had with Wyatt. To set the stage, I was driving him to school. He was in his carseat sitting next to Lauren. I was driving.

Wyatt: Mommy, when do I get to marry Lauren?
Mommy: Well, Wyatt, you never get to marry Lauren.
Wyatt: But why? I'm getting bigger.
Mommy: It's not about getting bigger. You can't marry Lauren because she is your sister,and we can't marry people in our family.
Wyatt: Who am I going to marry then?
Mommy: Well, one day you will meet a girl that you love and you will just know in your heart that she is the one you are suppose to marry.

Then there was silence, and no response so I looked back at him.
His eyes were filled with tears. I pulled my car over.

Mommy: What's wrong?

Wyatt's chin began to quiver.

Wyatt: Mommy, I am never going to meet a girl that I love as much as I love Lauren.

Can I just say that my heart just melted right there in the car. It was so sweet. Lauren was unaware of the love that Wyatt just showed her. Or was she? I looked over at her and she was looking at him with a smile from ear to ear.

I had to record this story. It will definitely be one for me to remember and share at his Rehearsal Dinner.
