Does your face light up when your child enters the room?

I can still remember when I saw Toni Morrison on the Oprah book club years ago and she asked the question: " Does your face light up when your child enters the room?"

"If it does, it allows your face to speak how your heart feels......." 

It was long before I had G and I never forgot it. It was one of those goose-bump moments. I knew I would never forget it, it really struck a core in my heart. I knew I wanted my child to be validated every time he/she walked into a room. I knew I wanted my child to see the love on my face, not criticism, not just caring, not a question mark, but LOVE - every time they walk into the room. 

Thank you for the valuable lesson Mrs. Morrison.
