dirty socks


i know this life is not always a joy ride, in fact we were coming home from phoenix where our brand new car broke down right after christmas. but life is made up of moments that are full of joy. who knew one of my joyful moments would come from dirty socks. we just started our commute home in our rental car. max was sitting in his car seat holding his bare feet saying one of his new words, "cold, cooold". it was late and dark outside and his cute little toes were cold. out of the corner of my eye i saw abe, who was sitting next to him, take off his shoes and then his socks. then he put his dirty, gi-normous socks on max's cold little feet. i looked back at abe who was smiling pretty big at the sight of max's unusually big, but warm feet. isn't that what life is all about?
