I've got you...

This is going to be just a quick post. Most everybody knows what a scaredy cat I am and with recent events in my life (a midnight visitor) things have been even more stressful. Without going into too many boring details - our visitor is still in jail and his arraignment was last Friday. I had kinda moved past this traumatic event until a couple of weeks ago when we received paperwork about the arraignment, etc. This has caused this fear/anxiety to become a prevalent issue within my life once again. But anyway here is the point of my post. Last night I was not having a good night. I couldn't sleep and was getting more and more anxious with every little noise I heard. As most of you also know Chloe sleeps in our bed. So, after I had been awake (scared) for about an hour I finally whispered to Eric and tapped him on the shoulder. "Eric, Eric, I am scared." He didn't answer. "Eric, Eric, I am scared." No answer. I was being pretty quiet and Chloe was still asleep. All of the sudden a little arm reaches up and wraps around my neck. "It's ok, I've got you," she whispered. It was the sweetest thing E-V-E-R. She then just went right back to sleep. Never even looking at me or waking up...she just heard her mommy in need and was there to protect.
