My baby wiped my tears

I was having this horrible blue moment. I was feeling very lonely and I started crying. Lily immediately could tell that something was wrong. She starts pointing at the tears falling down my face and makes a noise as if saying, "What's wrong Mommy?" I try to stop crying but am amazed that she notices my dismay. I start crying again later and I went to get tissues to wipe my tears and blow my nose. Lily once again notices that I'm sad. She sits in my lap and asks for a tissue too. I thought she was going to wipe her nose as she has done in the past. Instead she takes the tissue, balls it up and starts wiping my tears. She does this over and over again. As if she knew that this might make me feel better. Which it did. I am in awe at how much a little baby can love and show true empathy. I have the sweetest baby in the world. I'm so blessed.
