I was drawing with Nooriya. Mostly I was sitting with her and just spending time with her while trying to block out the rest of the world. We do this all the time; it's awesome. This time she had me draw a bird. I did. She proceeded to erase it completely and say to me, "let me fix that for you". And then later she said, "you just sit there and I'll take care of it".
Then later Yusuf did something all by himself that I'm used to helping him with. It's been happening over time, but today it hit me all of a sudden. Yusuf and Nooriya aren't little anymore. I know that'll be a ridiculous thing to read when I come back in years when they're actually big.
All of a sudden it was them trying to take care of me when I'm so used to trying to take care of them. I gather I'll never stop trying. I'm not sure what my point is, but I do want to write down this memory and come back to read this.
My family is somehow getting even better.
