Last night, as I was tucking Leo in, he was sharing stories about his day at nature camp. His favorite part was the bug hunt. Each student had a butterfly net and tried to capture creatures. Leo caught Japanese beetles.
Then he said the sweetest thing that melted my heart:
“Today at camp I picked the pink butterfly net to remind me of T, because I missed her a little bit.”
Sibling love. It’s the best.
