Nixon's Love

Nixon and I had one of those moments this afternoon when I was given a reminder about why I love him so much, even though he's a devilish little imp most of the time. I was sitting on the couch feeling tired and dizzy (and tired of being dizzy) and asked him for a hug. At first he said no because he was too busy jumping on the couch (making me more dizzy), but after a few minutes he came over and said "Hug, Nana?". So I got my hug and he decided to hang around on my lap for a while, telling me about the fast dinosaurs coming through the trees. Then his face got very serious, like he was concentrating deeply on solving the world's problems. When I asked him what he was thinking about, he said "Trains. On a track." I smiled at him and he said, "No, Nana. Trains on a track." Then he smiled back and the whole world was filled with love and light.
