I got this email yesterday and I hope that one day my children can say this about my husband and I.
When You Thought I wasn't Looking
Author: Unknown
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang my first
painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you feed a stray cat,
and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make my favorite
cake for me and I learned that the little things can be the special things in
life.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I heard you say a prayer, and
I knew there is a God I could always talk to and I learned to trust in God.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make a meal and
take it to a friend who was sick, and I learned that we all have to help take
care of each other.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you give of your time
and money to help people who had nothing and I learned that those who have
something should give to those who don't.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you take care of our
house and everyone in it and I learned we have to take care of what we are
given.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw how you handled your
responsibilities, even when you didn't feel good and I learned that I would
have to be responsible when I grow up.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw tears come from your
eyes and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it's all right to cry.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw that you cared and I
wanted to be everything that I could be.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I learned most of life's
lessons that I need to know to be a good and productive person when I grow up.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I looked at you and wanted to
say, "Thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't
looking."
