After a couple of days of being back home from our trip to Virginia, Cassidy did something extraordinary. After a long day of working on the computer catching up with things I could hear Cassidy doing something upstairs in the kitchen. Before long Cassidy came downstairs and told me that she had made Derek and I dinner. She said that she knew I had a hard day and that she wanted to take care of dinner so I wouldn't have to. I was pleasantly surprised. She was so excited to show me what she had done. I went upstairs to find the table set with our dinner plates, and drinking glasses. On each plate I saw peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and chips. Cassidy just told me all I had to do was pour the drinks since she didn't want to spill the drinks. I couldn't believe my eyes. My heart just melted. I had to scoop her up and give her a big, giant, hug.
I also realized she had cleaned up her mess and had put the peanut butter, jelly, bread, and chips away too. Derek came home from work shortly after and found the wonderful surprise. All three of us sat down together to enjoy the sweet labor of our delicious meal. This sweet little girl is such an example of compassion and love! She's such a great example to Derek and I! That had to be my FAVORITE peanut butter and jelly sandwich!!
