The test

As I sit outside my professors classroom, nervously flipping between scribbled notes in preparation for my test, I fish up a pencil and an tiny... well used... eraser. 

All my racing thoughts just stopped as I sat there staring at this miniscule thing.  I was literally halted in my tracks of frantic memorizing.  My second oldest son Liam who lived here in Sweden for almost 2 years had left this earser behind.   What  joy it was to find it in that very tuff academic moment.  On it was a small but noticable smiley face...

A loss of words.

A smiling heart.

A grateful and proud mother.

I went and took that 40 question science test and did just fine.  I'd like to think it was due to this oh-so-timely-sign of family.

Thanks Liam for helping me ace my test.
