Today a little girl wanted to braid my hair. She informed me that she was very good at it.
I let her.
It occurred to me that this was the first time in oh so long that anyone had braided my hair. I always do it myself. It felt really good. Those little hands working with gentle determination.
It made me feel really special to be taken care of and in the process make a 7 year old happy.
