Sweet Moment

Walking towards the car at school. Nathaniel stops and says, "I broke your red flower and I am so very sorry."
.
I kneel down and ask him what he's talking about, had he made me a flower at school or something, what red flower did he mean?
.
"No," he said. "I picked it from the garden on the playground but then I broke it on the trike."
.
I gave him a hug and said, "Oh, honey, I love it that you thought of me today and picked me a flower and you know what? That's just as good as if you gave it to me. It doesn't matter that it broke."
.
He paused and thought for a moment, then walked over to a dandelion, picked it and handed it to me.
.
Warms a mommy's heart.
