You are not a bother. You are not a burden. You are not a waste of space. You are not annoying every person you talk to. Your existence matters. Your presence makes a good difference.

Seeing how happy your child gets when you tell them they did such a good job is seriously the best thing ever. My mom and Audrey were coloring and drawing earlier while I mopped the kitchen and dining room floors. Once I finished, they gave me a handful of little scribbles like this. :)
