Mackenzie makes everything better...

Last week, I was at my parents house with the kids when we found out that a very close elderly neighbor had passed away suddenly. This kind man was everyone's Grandpa...whether you were related to him or not. I had known him for over 30 years, so it was a truly sad day for me. Cathy came over to mom and dads house shortly after she heard the news and when she got there she was upset. Cathy just shared what happened next with me, so I wanted to share because it brought tears to my eyes...

Mackenzie..."Aunt Caki why are you sad?"
Cathy..."I'm just a little sad today"
Mackenzie...thinks for a second and then says "Well do you want a hug? Hugs make people happy."

Somehow a 3 1/2 year old knows how to make a 28 year old all better:)
