Hearts

Huh, found this in my unfinished posts today.  Not sure when I wrote it, but how sweet to reread.

I had an evening with my mom's Bible study group last night and when I came home Austin told me this beautifully sweet story about Chali.  I just HAVE to share!

Austin was kissing and hugging the girls goodnight and Chali asked what he would be doing after he tucked them in.  He told her he would be going down in the basement to work in the studio and she said, "No daddy, don't go in the basement!"  He said, "It's ok sweetie.  I really need to do some work in the basement."  "No daddy, no!  Pleeease don't go to the basement."  So he asked her why she didn't want him to go to the basement and she replied, "because then your heart will be too far away from mine."  Austin of course completely melted, as did I when he retold the story!  And seriously, how did this 7 year old get so old?  But I've been asking myself this question since she was 2.
