Trust Me-- Even with FAS there is Joy to be Found

Sveta is such a sweetheart. Often she will be my shadow... not in an overbearing way... actually something I have grown to enjoy very much. As I put on my pajamas last night and combed out my hair, I thought I would return the favor and comb her hair... and french braid it. After I went down to check my email, Sveta disappeared into the kitchen. Just as I was walking out of the office to head up to bed, she was walking toward me with a cup of freshly made coffee.

Like I said, What a sweetheart!

"Here Mom. I made you a cup of coffee. But I am so sorry because you were out of your other coffee and I had to make it with another kind. But smell. It looks good. Will you like it?"

Immediately I saw the coffee grounds floating in the mug and I tried to keep from laughing.

"Oh Sveta, thank you so much. Can you show me what coffee you used?"

When she showed me the can of Folgers I just smiled to myself.

P.S. I strained the coffee, reheated it, and drank it for breakfast. Not bad.

You were SO wise to just thank and compliment. I have made many mistakes by correcting their mistakes FIRST...they don't hear the praise afterwards.

That is a way my kids show me love, too, by making me coffee. I guess coffee is my love language. :)

Sweet story. So glad you shared it. :-)

My children have never tried to make me coffee...maybe that's a good thing. But, what a dear story.
