Together in our hearts

Some close friends of ours recently informed us that they were getting divorced. My heart has been heavy with this news ever since.

And since their daughter is a good friend of Audrey's, we decided to talk about it with her. Unfortunately, this sort of thing is quite commonplace in Audrey's world. She knows lots of kids whose parents live in different houses. However, when she learned the news of our friends, she was definitely saddened.

But it also prompted her to say a very sweet thing. She started out by saying that she didn't ever want us to live in separate houses. (Which prompted a very tight hug from her Daddy.)

Then she said, "Even if we did live in separate houses, I'd still be able to see you. You know how? I could see you in my heart."

Can't top that!
