What Do You Need?

I sit at the dining table, officiating at Dictation with My Girl, as the little boys play in the basement playroom.

A little voice drifts up the stairs, a touch of the imperative in the tone:
"Mom, can you come here?"

I sigh (yes, I admit it) and return the call:
"What do you need?" (Did I manage to keep the impatience out of my voice?)

"You."

A simple reply. It melts my heart. How could anyone say no to that request? He doesn't need something. He needs someone. He needs ME.

So I go.
