Day 25: Zaydubean

I love the fact, that of all the gadgets and gizmos that you could have wanted for Eid, you chose … a turtle.  It reveals so much about the amazing little guy that you are. Curious about the world, and all its inhabitants; in love with nature, and all its wonders; compassionate for life, in all its varieties.  For weeks you researched turtles and tortoises – what they ate, where they like to live, what makes them happy.  You couldn’t talk about anything else (even cars took a back seat!)Yesterday you chose Georgie, your tortoise.  While I’m thinking, with our ever growing number of pets,  how in the world did I end up on the set of “We Bought a Zoo”, you’re beaming from ear to ear imagining that heaven must have lots and lots of creatures.  This morning you woke up and asked, “Was I dreaming mama, or do I really have a tortoise.”You melt me, Zaydubean. With your smile. Your laugh. Your wit. Your gentleness. Your love.Day 25; Gratitude 25: My Zayd
